I believe we are getting the same rostering computer that BM has and that will mean that all of us will be flying our 750 hour contracted hours. I have been doing just about that at the moment and it has meant 4-5 trips a month, 3 when I have a week or so's leave. I do get jet lagged and I don't know many of my colleagues who don't suffer a bit and are generally tired for a couple of days after a trip. That is on the 400. We do only do trips of 3-4 days, generally which is a major bonus if you have a family, or in fact just a life.
People are all pretty good in general but pay could be better. 10-15% would be about right.
