Despite some of the anti xl people , life isnt too bad on the 737 fleet. As one young man put it, ...New jet , interesting flying to the islands, easy going colleagues and constructive sim (ie not an ex raf chop house) , mostly, and getting paid as well.
rosters have been a bit dodgy, but about 2500 to 2800 take home for average (three bar typed) f/o before flight pay, loss of licence,pension, 2.28 per hr fp, and all of the above. No different problems than any other charter operator, it just seems to affect some more than others.But then Ive found they are usually the same types that seem to have worked for everyone.
Cheers. I had a ball. The desert is calling
