Some of the above are shuttle destinations (there and back from somewhere else, ie. DOH from BAH).
Anyway....
- Can you commute?
Certainly. Many people do. As you get more senior you'll have more control over your life so you'll be able to get longer blocks of days off.
- How many days in a row are you on and then off duty?
Typically, three or four on, two off. You can volunteer to reduce the days off to get more days in a block.
How many days in total is one at home per month on average?
Typically without leave, expect about 12-14 days at home per month.
Could a BA FO 777 maybe post some roster examples?
You'll be lucky. Expect 5 trips per month, mainly Eastern Seaboard with two days off in between. Expect to work most weekends. It's rare for 3-crew trips to get as far as the Blind Lines (ie. rostered lines) but not unknown.
- Is it possible to get requests granted (e.g. if you need to be at a wedding or for a weekend...)
If it's something important (wedding, funeral, Cup Final), a quiet word in the office helps if you aren't senior enough to achieve an appropriate Trip Line. Just for a weekend? Well, you can ask....
- Do you have any weekends off at all?
Not many initially (expect zero, be pleased if you get more). You'll get more as your seniority increases.
- Can you plan your vacation days, or do you just get what is left?
Leave is allocated on a points system (not seniority) based on the last eight seasons. If you go for unpopular weeks over the first few seasons (ie. not Christmas or the school holidays), you get most points which gives you more choice in subsequent seasons - if you see what I mean...
- And how much vacation will one have per year at BA?
Four weeks leave (which you cannot work over), two Duty Free Weeks (which you can choose to work over but cannot be forced), so six weeks in total.
- How much destinations does the 777 fly to - is there a list somewhere?
Plenty (the previous post has a full list). Needless to say, the list can change at any time. Shanghai is a new route and in the past it's been to BKK, CPT, KL, Havana, Saudi and all over South America among others. You never know, it may go back.....
After your first five years (or at BA's discretion), subject to your seniority you'll be able to change fleets if the above doesn't suit you.
Welcome aboard.
