Thanks that is the type of info I'm looking for.
We get an average of eight days off in twenty-eight(legal min).Normally working five,six and occasionally seven on and nearly always two off,occasionally three or one( single days off do not count towards yearly total, only recently implemented).
Frequently finishing late before days off and early first day back.Increasing amounts of deep night flying and large numbers of split duties.Standby's before! and after flights.Policy of no seniority list and our 36 days leave must be taken in seven day blocks minimum with one day off either side.
Captains have been flying between seven and nine hundred hours a year,three to five sectors normally(we do have six)day flying and one or two night.Roster changes seem to be decreasing recently but when it does go wrong its quite spectacular!
I realise it's not easy while expanding but if they reallysorted this it would really be an OK job.Quite a number are going part time if they can afford it, which really says it all- people don't mind working hard but need decent time off to recover properly.
Same types as Cactus!
