QF is getting one 380 a year.... so i guess the expansion will be anything but explosive
Anywhoo.. back on topic.... casual flying is fantasitc. The money is great... the job is even better... and one thing that the majority of fulltimers dont have... are garunteed days off. When you are non av.... its done... in the bag. Only very senior crew are able to do that (yet they still complain and whinge about their rosters). I cant complain one bit about the type of flying ive been given. Overnights galore! OOL, BNE, ADL, CNS, TSV, DRW, SIN, HKG, CBR, MEL, AKL, CHC and of course PER.
As for hours... for the last 4 months I have had a whole week off (on top of the normal rest days) every month, and I have reached on average about 125-130hrs/month.
Anywhoo.. good luck with everthing
