Hi guys just thought id let ya know.
I worked for United Airlines for a while and i can confirm that other airlines do bad b2b trips. At UA we could do triple b2b's
ie LHR-JFK-LHR-LAX-JFK-LHR-ORD-LHR 3 DAYS OFF
then LHR-SFO-LHR 2DAYS OFF
then LHR-ORD-LHR-ORD-LHR 2 DAYS OF
then LHR-JFK-LHR 2 DAYS OFF
i would like to point out that UA didnt supply the FA's a hotel inbetween
b2b's too
As for pay, our basic pay included 95 flying hours. so to get per diems (flight pay) we had to do over 95 flight hours to qualify for flight pay. so some months if you got a quiet month you could do 4 of our shortest trips (these were a 2 day JFK. yes a 2 day jfk!!! not even a night in jfk layover was 12 hours!!)
Oh and by the way. trips were allocated on time served. therefore those of us who were junior were on reserve (stby) for 5 years.
So silverjet dont sound that bad, but im sure silverjet has its own problems.
you just have to relax and enjoy what ya do and enjoy ya shopping down route.
