So assuming one does a 13hr trip within one day, then 2 hrs driving (return) in order to get to and from home, how much time are you given as rest period between flights? (I can see this being a job where you get tired fast!)
Are the hours fixed sometimes like say 2 days at 0600 starts after 13 hr trips, or do crewing department compensate the later you arrive back at base?
In summer you can expect min rest between days, regardless of how long it takes you to get home. People are usually knackered by the end of the week. Rostering doesn't have any pattern, you can get a number of earlies, or a mixture during the week, but if that happens you end up getting a day with a very short standby or it would be impossible to continue rostering you. If your flight is delayed your next day would be changed e.g. altering start time of standby or taking you off a flight if this would mean you didn't get a min rest.
