We dont normally have as many CT on our roster, and we do sometimes do Standby's but not often. I've highlighted the days off at home and while away so you get a good idea of how hard we work, and if you dont live near a big airport, whether commuting is possible for you. Depending on the charter airline you apply for will depend on how much long haul you do, not all airlines give you long haul straight away, so you will be working more. as a maximum with Thomsonfly you will only work 16days a month if you do all short haul- cant say i've ever done that but i've always been based at a long haul base. hope this helps.

if you are getting fed up of UNI my advice is carry on with your course, and if you still want to give flying a go, go for it, but dont give it all up with nothing to show, what if you hate flying? at least you'll have something to back you up at a later date.
