A couple of questions:-

How much flying are we all doing around the bases? I for one am looking at less than 500 hours this year.

I know I probably shouldn't complain but as a newbie trying desperatley to accrue hours I cannot understand how the company can have crews just sat around at home?

I'm regularly on a 3 day week that's excluding standby days, but I am rarely called out! Is this normal for a lo co or a charter company in the summer months? What is this winter going bring flying wise? As i understand that the shedule is even more relaxed?

It has been suggested that we can have unpaid leave but alot of my collegues are saying whats the point because we fly so little.

As for the sector pay it worth about £8.50 to £10 a week to me and that is the only pay rise I have recieved this year, other companies seem to be getting bigger rises.

Thanks for any replies in advance it just that i'm so down hearted at the amount I fly and the amount I recive each month compared to my course clooegues who have gone to other companies.
