HI WTSS
In order to work to the min hours required each month you will do blocks of work (5-7 days) within those blocks can be anything from day trips to 5 day "tours", which obviously means 4 consecutive nights away. Each day can be anything from no work (day off down route (standover in BA speak)) to 4 sectors.
Night stops are usually 14-18 hours and follow either an early start or an afternoon start. You have controli your seniority of where you go, when you go and how long the trips are. At the start only as preferences on a blind line (a roster given to you by BA), but later after about 6 months on the 'bus you will bid for "trip line" of work. You will also do 2 or 3 reserve (standby) months in you first year, reducing to les than 1 a year after about3-4 years in.
Starting basic I think is £48500 and expect £10-15000 in allowances each year. As you may be able to tell I like the lifestyle with little time change and large variety of destinations.
My April roster is
1-3) off
4-5) 2 day trip (2*3 sectors)
6-8) 3 day trip (1 sector, 2 sector(1pos), 3 sectors)
9-22) off (one weeks leave and "bid around for more time off)
23) day trip (2 sectors)
24)-25 2 day trip (2*3 sectors)
26-27) 2 day trip (2*3 sectors)
28 -29) off
30-2) 3 day trip (3 sectors, 4 setors, 3 sectors)
