Routes - Anything in range of the 320. ME, Pak, Ind, Saudi, Cairo, Jordan, Leb etc.
Some night stops.
Block hrs - pass, not on the 320.
Change of type, in theory yes,,,,,, after 12 mths.... in theory....
Roster patterns, cant say but any roster PATTERN would be nice....
METRO MAN,
You forgot to mention the 3+ months living in a hotel room....
...if you get an apartment, you might be lucky and get a single bedroom opposite the trg centre 47kms from town.....
EY aim for 750-800 hours a year and pay less than EK. EK pilots earn more but complain about fatigue from ULR and max hours.
Then why have my neighbours had weeks off after doing 900hrs in less than 12 months?
Why do they look like they have come off a tour of duty in Iraq after a ULR flight..?
EY still have a LOT of work to do before they start on an upward slope.
The workers are still the poor cousins to the F1!
However it is still quite relaxed as opposed to maybe Qatar/Gulf & maybe EK..?
