Thomsonfly line skipper just under twenty years service on the 75/76 at one of the major bases typical monthly take home £4500 best ever just over £5000.I generally avoid flexi (days off working) and never take part in the hajj operation.Don,t seem to get many days off but also don,t fly very much as the rostering is a joke typically 3 days work for one days flying out of a minor base.I,m an expert at Hallmark taxis and airline positioning.Longhaul is the best way to avoid hassle.Flew under 500 hours last year but worked very hard lots of inefficiences which are typical of a multi base charter operation.What flying I got was very interesting though,in one calendar month recently I flew in every continent of the world except Antarctica,that sort of flying is hard to find with many airlines.Company is an organisational nightmare,lots of crisis management/firefighting overstretched support staff cut to the bare bones .
