Have to agree with a lot being said I am one of the 330/3340 guys and in the last 18 months have been sitting just under 900 hrs. In Feb took 8 days leave and still flew 77.5hrs stick, which included trip to JFK and Auckland I have now hit 100 hrs in 24 days and have finally been given some days off.Fatigue yes.
Are rostering system is awful very little satisfaction, unless its you top bid month so 2 months out of 10, some satisfaction, days off are in blocks of 1 and 2 days, they are even using your leave as the preflight rest for ULR trips, so they can squeeze more flying out of you.
I personally don’t mind Dubai apart from the Traffic.
But in the 8 years I have been here the last 2 have been pretty tough, and are management really doesn’t care. Lots of Talk no action.
Good luck with your decision. I would think very carefully if you have a half way decent job!!!!
