To the others:
Would U guys mind telling me how many of the following the average B777 captain's roster has each month:
1. B-to-B subcontinent (Pak, Ind, Bang) flts?
2. Long haul E-W of more than 9 hours?
3. Days away fro DXB?
4. Days in DXB incl stbys?
5. Flt duty hours?
This **** bout factoring of FDH for inflt rest, is it on?
I need to make a fast decision should I join yr happy/unhappy crowd.
Spare me d details bout accom n rest. I know DXB very well!
Tnx a lot whoever contributes a sensible input!
P.S.: I would appr if s/one sends me a sample B777 captain's roster.
There is no such thing as a sample roster. Rosters change so much from one individual to another that you will not get a good idea of the schedule based on one roster. You could have a month full of India night flights or one with 3 Europe turns and a short MEL. You could have 8 days off or 18.
Generally speaking you will get about 3 or 4 nice rosters per year with the other 8 somewhere between okay and crappy.
