To Pilot Pete and anyone else who might be interested;
Part 7 of Ops Manual refers to IAA regulations, not CAP 371.
FDP is 30 mins before flight to 15 mins after. Rostered report time is -45 mins. (In reality, most of us check-in at STD -60 to ensure a complete and thorough brief. I think it's called 'proffesionalism', something FR management choose to ignore.)
FDP is up to 12 hours regardless of when you check in.
For Cabin Crew this figure is 14 hours.
FD may work for 6 consecutive days, if required, and all starts may be 'earlies'
CC may work for 7 consecutive days......
9 days leave will be allocated, at random, and almost always in single days throughout the year to ensure that realistic leave planning is impossible.
Days off will be replaced with leave days at the companie's whim, whenever it suits them so to do.
Morale is in the dumps but spirits and application to the job in hand are high!
Still want to join?
