As to rosters;
In MAN,
I am doing 0-3 nightstops per month (requesting minimum nightstops)
Mix of 2 and 4 sector duties.
Earlies mostly 2 sectors and finished before 1200
Some long 4 sector days (10 duty hrs or so) ie
MAN FRA MAN DUS
MAN DUS MAN TXL
MAN TXL MAN ABZ (sat only)
1 or 2 2 sector lates (nice work if you can get it) (MAN HAJ or MAN CDG)
Rosters have been reasonably stable. If disrupted (>2hr move to rostered duty withion 14 days) they give a payment to compensate if you accept.
MAN has seen better days as a base (it's much less crowded in the crewroom now of an early morning
).
Take that as you will.
Good luck
