You work less on the Airbus than you will on the Boeing traditionally.

Around 70 hours per month in summer, 30 in Winter.

Work is allocated by roster. No bidding.

There may be Mixed fleet flying again in 2005, however to qualify you would need to be based at MAN or LGW. Airbus A320 pilots at STN,EMA and any other stations do NOT fly the A330.

Any MFF would be purely on seniority and recency. I believe.

You will be joining a long seniority list at about number 350, where your command will be at least 8 - 10 years away and where the A330 will not come your way for probably 3 or more years.

I like TC, it ain't the best airline, but it ain't the worst.

Anyhow, must dash, I am off to Lanzarote. Again. After all it IS Thursday!
