Twin 2040 & ASF,
Do your homework, the Company isn't the happy ship many perceive it to be. Many new recruits have found that out recently.Resignations have begun, only a trickle but rumour control says there are more to come.
As Qwerty states, fleet and base will determine your quality of life. Average pilot hours are in the order of 575, however A320/1 in Manchester you will be knocking on 900hrs. By default some fleets/bases will be flying 300ish.
You will only be rostered the minimum contractual days off which is 8 in 28 days but they will be written in tablets of stone and they will not be single days. For the other 20 days of your roster be prepared for some serious disruption. Negotiations for a long awaited scheduling agreement are proving to be difficult.
