Hi inop,
I shuttled two years between DK and LUX without big problems. You have a block of 6 or more offdays in each rosterperiod, which makes it possible to "go home!"
However the rostering was in my eyes the big problem. It was very difficult to plan anything with your family and friends, cos' you have no fixed offday system, and you must request your VIP days a long time in advance! You are entitled to 9 offdays for every 28 days roster period.
With regards to standby acc., there's a place close to Trier, called "Salvatores". It is more or less the home of at least 40 CLX pilots. They charge you something like 50DM per stay, breakfast incld. You will always meet other colleges there before a flight!
ID tickets are available from a good variety of European flagcarriers, except LUXAIR(Only 2
pr. Year
)
I wish you the best of luck - you will be joining a great team of dedicated pilots - flying a wonderfull aircraft - and visit many interesting places all over the world!
