Working out of LCY is great because it shuts at the weekend lunchtimes, so it isn't that bad, and don't forget you may be on standby for some of the week. Working for a TP operator, I too want to possibly transition to CityJet. I hear the starting pay is low, but the sector pay is very good (mostly tax free).
You would never, in any airline get the same days off. They have to comply with the CAP regarding days off after 5 earlys and starting a late after an early etc...You will not get 2 days off i a row every week. Do the Irish laws on crewing hours differ from UK???
What is the min rest period (12hrs)?
