Ok so I get the picture but what you donīt understand is that at the end of the day there is no guaranteed on how many hours you are going to fly a year. And standbys away from your base and you paying for all the costs, please donīt take the p**s. I like the whole idea but I still think there are some things in that contract that do look a bit strange (5 days away from base and not flying on a standby) ???????????
Form a company point of view this setup is just the best. They can use you, send you wherever, do what they want with you and the best of all is that it doenīt cost them a penny because if you are not needed simply just donīt call you.
I know the grass is not greener on the other side or al least in my side but sorry this contract is a bit cr....sh.
Just to cuote Iīll be a poor FO on a 65 an hour mines 4.5 for the cost of all recurrent training so maybe you can understand my concerns now.
