I have been flying for a regional airline since 10 years and will change in the near future to a cargo airline flying within europe.
With the regional airline I had approx. 10-12 overnights, 140 to 170 hours duty a month and up to 5 sectors a day, minimum 2 sectors.
With 10 days off I was not at home a lot of time due to the overnights.
Now I hope for a better lifestyle.
I will have 10 to 11 off days a month add. with the starting and ending days.
What I do not know is, how do I bear the night time flying?
How many days a month will I have to stay away from home in hotels?
Flying cargo on long haul routes is quite different to that flying during night 2 or 3 sectors, I guess.
However,I am curious about it.
@ earl
Why is cargo much better, apart from the flight attendant and why do you went back to pax then?
cheers
