"an average working week in AAI" ?
Day 1 (of the month)
breakfast at 9am, attended merely to hear the latest rumors, who has left, what contracts are about to end, which aircraft are AOG, ( again) which should be,
Go back to room, initiate daily charge 19 usd internet to check company email
receive a roster about 10AM, about 10: 45 receive the first amendment to this roster, completely changing it, and throughout the day receive amendments to the amended roster, each changing dramatically.
Note on 6th roster you have a 2200 hr pickup.
on what you thought was your day off.
( flight leaves at 0001) so this is OK apparently.
2200 show for pick up, find pick up delayed "until further notice"
wait in lobby as room no longer available
call "NCC" who have no clue who you are, or for that matter where.
3 hours later, room now found, news reaches you in the bar, where the balance of the on base crews can be found,
still discussing the latest rumors,
Day 2
Receive 8AM wake up call, (should have checked roster version 9 received at 0400)
wait in lobby for an additional 50 minutes, (no transport)
wait in bus at stand 45 minutes (no airplane)
wait in airplane 2 hrs (no flt plans)
wait in airplane another hour, (no freight)
wait off stand 1 hour, new slot
depart 1445, 4 hours delayed, on yet another Hong Kong - Tashkent - Luxembourg trip!
21 hours later, arrive Luxembourg.
no transport, which is not really critical as there probably will not be a hotel room anyway.
Arrive at hotel 2 hours later, to find that while there is indeed no room, you have a new roster.
and a flight early AM
back to Hong Kong,
via Kuwait
This can probably be considered day 3, hard to be specific now.
roster 17 shows a day off in HKG,
unfortunately roster 23 has you positioning on arrival to KL
and you do
arriving on what must be day 4? maybe 5 now, who can accurately say.
day 6, whoops roster 26 showed you operating HKG? so position back
and the time spent waiting in the lobby again for the non existent room, takes you into day 7,
2 rosters arrive while you wait.
but I have to say, I still enjoyed my time there overall, you will by and large fly with a great group of guys.
