I have been with the company for about 16 months and have done about 1080 hours. Mind you, I have taken my full complement of annual leave. Last month was a big month for overtime I must say, but I was in top bid group and wrote my own roster. Overtime varies by fleet/monthly/seasonal variations. I choose to work hard some months and choose to do fcuk all in other months. If you want it you can usually get it. I know I might get a mouthful from the Airbus guys in saying this, but if you join the 777 fleet you have the capacity to earn much more than an Airbus guy and have a much better lifestyle as the 777 does short/medium/long and ultra long haul patterns. I think at last count we had 33 differen't layovers on the 777 covering every continent on earth.
I think the yearly pay rise is 3% but don't quote me on that. Whatever it is, it is fcuk all
