Matey that sounds like jet 2 
, do what most are doing and start looking elsewhere.
My complaints:-
There is little variation in a roster period you seem to pretty much fly the same routes with the same people. In the winter if you work out of Manchester get used to Gatwick, Edinburgh and Amsterdam, if you’re at Leeds get used to the Paris Belfast and again Amsterdam. Also get used to flying with the same people in the other seat. The rostering department don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘variety’. There are flight deck that I have never flown with and others that I fly with on a weekly basis.
You assessment of the flying hours flown is fairly typical but the Leeds guys seem to do slightly more hour over there.
There was a very loose rostering agreement about days off and not starting earlies after days off but this does not work most of the time as I regularly start the earlies after days off, in fact again the same faces do the earlies and the same faces fly the lates.
Sector pay was all hype but again was a disaster as it pretty much turned out to be a pay cut as it doesn’t even cover a cost of living rise.
On your days off why not join Balpa quite a few have joined recently.
Elizabeth reigns but here at JET2 confusion rules.
