The point that
pilotatlast was trying to make was that you have the wrong preconceived ideas about time off as a junior F/O in BA. In shorthaul the work patterns will have you away from home most weekends - does your (presumably
) lovely wife work during the week? If so, you may go weeks without seeing her! At least on longhaul you
will get MBTR of two or three days guaranteed off between trips. Remember, seniority in BA means everything and you will be junior for years as there are 3300 others ahead of you and the retirement bulge ends soon............
