A few other matters,,
Hi guys,
About the 747 rostering, A few other matters not covered but important to many of us, Thankyou in advance
1-Can you fly part-time? for ie, 2 routes instead of 4 a month,
2-Which are the routes that after completing a way and return to base least affect you in terms of jet lag, maybe the African routes??
3-What is it with stby time, how far away can you be from airport, time, etc, and is it for a whole month a year?
4-How many days do you spend in a given destination, is it minimum rest? could you choose to spend more or less time at destination,
5-Maybe its mentioned, but to clarify, can they allocate you days off at destination ports?
6-Are there any go and return in the same day routes with the 747?
7-What are the routes which best allow you to commute with a minimum spending time/not sleeping the day before in the heathrow area, and are they difficult to bid? (any commuters can answer accordingly to this)
8-For similar reasons as the one before, say you have or bid a JFK, is there any chance of also bidding for the latest/earliest one of the day?
Now for a bit of time at the flightdeck
1- what is your general satisfaction from handling the 747, do you feel as if the SOPs let you handle alot of manual flying. Or is it very strict?
2-for f/o´s : Whats your GENERAL impression of skippers in BA, tough, easygoing, rather demanding, friendly ?
3-Hows the general mood in a long haul flights, is it relaxed, are you going to be on the mouth by others if you take out say a magazine or reading book?
other comments appreciated, thanks
