Thanks Sgroggs/Guys for all the input.

I would really like to get a general idea of how you feel about the flying. I presently do about 8 sectors a week (operating half of them). This is clearly different to the Virgin pilot's role, and I wondered if you get used to the lack of handling/ very long sectors.

With regard to commuting, do guys generally shuttle the morning of their flight (on a standyby basis?), or is their a need to travel down the day before (much less time at home).

Scroggs, you have mentioned that the average days at home per month is 10-12. Does this include rest days etc, or is this days purely in the country.

How do you get on with taking partners on trips, is it generally a safe bet for them getting back?

Lastly (for now), I know it is asking a bit, but do you know how I could get sight of any rosters? This would be superb.

Thanks again

FD
