A320 Rosters... you picked a fun topic Plutos.

50 hours stick with 120 hours duty, to
80 hours stick with 150 hours duty.

How is it possible to get a roster where the ratio of Duty Time to Flight Time is more than 2:1 ??

BAH return: 8 hours duty for 1.2 hours flight time
DXB return: 8 hours duty for 2.0 hours flight time
AUH return: 8 hours duty for 1.8 hours flight time
KWI return: 8 hours duty for 2.5 hours flight time
MCT return: 8 hours duty for 2.6 hours flight time.

The above dutys are all night duties

You can expect to do at least 4 of these every month, sometimes strung three in a row....

Top of the list obsene duty is the 4 sector split night duty around the gulf. The rules were changed to make this duty legal. 12 hours duty, split between the 3rd and 4th sector for the minimum 3 hours. Rest taken on board. You will get at least one of these every month.

On top of that you can expect night duties for 22 hour stopovers in TRV, COK, MAA, HYD, CMB, NBO. If you complain to the CP about your ****ty life you will get the odd SEZ, DAR or VIE.

Your remaining duties will be a few early starts or late finishes on short sectors around the gulf.

You may see the odd day flight on your roster, but 90% of those available are preselected by the training department. When will the training slow down? Never.

Are you Qatari Plutos? If so delete all of the above.
