I’m getting slightly out of what I know-given that I’ve never been on a part time contract. But in 10+ years I’ve never gone above 600 hours for the year (regional base).
if you’re joining on a part time contract initially, I’m not sure the hours will be massively less than the full time guys if I’m honest. Certainly in regional bases, full timers often only fly a handful of times during a winter month…so if you’re off for half of the winter you’re not necessarily missing out on a lot of hours flying. From what I’ve heard if you join on a reduced/part time contract, you generally got offered a full time contract about a year after final line check. Happy to be corrected on any of the above though..
