Besides that I’m particularly interested in how standbys work, how often are you assigned standby duties, and is there a high chance of actually being called in when you’re on standby?
Thanks in advance!
75%
New agreement was made last year between union and airline regarding 75% (DEELTIJD in Dutch).
a) From December 9, 2024, the following limits, pro rata to the employment percentage, will apply to all pilots:
190 hours of duty in 28 consecutive days
100 hours of block time in 28 successful days
900 hours of block time in any calendar year
1000 hours of block time in 12 months.
b) For the limits for duty and block time in 28 days, the number of working days in
the period of 28 consecutive days is examined to determine the employment percentage. The following table applies to the impact of this on the
limits:
Aantal werkbare
dagen Bloktijd totaal Duty totaal
1 6:15 11:53
2 12:30 23:45
3 18:45 35:37
4 25:00 47:30
5 31:15 59:22
6 37:30 71:15
7 43:45 83:07
8 50:00 95:00
9 56:15 106:53
10 62:30 118:45
11 68:45 130:37
12 75:00 142:30
13 81:15 154:22
14 87:30 166:15
15 93:45 178:07
>15 100:00 190:00
STANDBY
Also a new agreement was made regarding standbys. Transavia published rosters without all flights manned...flights would be open for weeks and you would be called 1 hour before reporting. A tactic to keep max flexbility.
With the new agreement all flights need to be manned at least 48hours before departure. Meaning standbys <48hours are now being used for there intended purpose: sickness and not-fit.
Most of the time you know now 48hours in advance what you will be doing during your standby.
TRANSAVIA
For the ones considering joining...it is a GREAT company.
- Very positive and pleasant working environment.
- Ability to fly to a lot of C airports (INN, SZG, SMI, FNC etc)
- Ability to self develop, often internal vacancies published: TRI, test-pilot, part-time office vacancies (training or safety) etc. No cryonism in that, everybody needs to apply and gets a fair chance.
- All combinations of working parttime.
- Possible to live abroad and position for free on Transavia/KLM to AMS.
- List goes on...
