Thanks guys, you all answered my question. Now that I have established that the pay after basic is very good, this is more encouraging. I would prefer LGW because I live very close by (20 mins by train), so communting and stby wouldnt be a problem. Plus I am from the caribbean and I travel stateside alot. So the routes would suit me perfectly.
Just another question, I heard they issue you a blind line for your first roster? So does that mean you can't bid for anything? Can you swap a trip or days off on your first roster? And what about your second roster?
Also, I know training is at Gatwick with about a week at heathrow, do you train on the weekends too?
Thanks
