A typical roster will be close to 4/3. You can try and bid for early or late check-ins. Typically there is an early departure wave from AMS with check-in times between 04:00 and 06:00LT. The afternoon departure wave with check-ins between 14:00 and 18:00 depending on stretch length. Most of them with checkout times around midnight and some very late finishes more towards 02:00LT.
You can commute for free with Transavia or KLM to any of their destinations in the network. Commuting should be possible and quite a few pilots commute. But consider that a early start and late finish in your working week. With a late duty before your weekend you will not be able to commute back on the same day. With an early start on day 1 you will not be able to commute before your flight to make it on time for your check-in.
As far as I know there is no special fare for hotels around Schiphol. Most of the commuters have an appartement in NL for their working week.
Thanks a lot for your extensive answer.
Days OFF must include a local night no? So there souldnt be any early reporting before 6AM after a day OFF? I also heard that at Transavia the minumum rest after a duty can not infringe on a day OFF. From that I would also guess you cant have any late finishes before your days off right?
How does the Eindhoven base work? I thought it was a pseudo base with no crews properly based there and just AMS crews having layovers.
The 3 days OFF are every time I get off days or just once a month and the rest of the days OFF can be spread how they like? I understand from your answer there could also be part time options? How does that look like, and is there any chance to get it woth low seniority?
Thanks again, have a great day!
