I prefer longer flights. You have got a fighting chance of reading the paper.
I would much prefer to do flights to Larnaca, Luxor etc eight times per month than do 60 to 70 sectors! The advantage of doing longer flights i.e. caa level 2 variations, is that you get a day off before and after.
My life has completely changed, I am now far more relaxed and have a social life. Night flights are not for everyone! I remember joining Easy. they stated that if you were a family man, it was fantastic as you never did any night flying and were always back home every evening. Hairy b......s!I left Easy after flying 1350 hrs in 21 months 950 hrs were at night. At least I get to see Eastenders and the Bill. failing that you can find me at my local.
Anyway, the majority of the flights range from between 1.5 hrs to 3.5 hrs. Which means duty periods of between 5 to 10 hrs!
