Doug - I disagree. Easy is a career airline, and may people in easy see it that way. It most certainly is the qickest way to a jet command, (in the world??) Some people are unfortunate and get some extreme rostering, and moan about it here. Many, like me (about 700hrs p.a.) just amble along on a cruisey roster enjoying the orange life.
For BluPilot, it is a great family life. Home every night, sure, not always full of energy, but home anyway. The fixed pattern (5/4/5/3) roster is best of all, because you can plan life around work rather than waiting for roster publication before knowing days off etc. Ther are far worse jobs if spending time with family are important to you.
