ok. this week of the 40 so expat captains, a total of 11 have more than 1 day off in the week. 1 guy has 3. only around half of these have 2 days together. almost everyone has time in hanoi. some 1 day, some 2 days and maybe 40% have a 3 day lay over in hanoi. I guess by looking over the lot most people are flying 14 to 20 sectors with a very few flying less.
Look this is just a snap of this week. It's not the hardest flying but it's exactly as i said guys. You get 7 days a month, so obviously you can get 2 together maximum twice in a month if you ask, and they will try to work you the 8 days before it so you pick up on the 60 hours off in 10 day rule. for my part i now have 4 days off before the end of the month but i had a 30 minute battle with rostering to get it and i had to get the CAAV involved. And that just gets me to my minimum 7 days this month.
Having said that what do you expect? 2 days a week off, good money, 2 weeks off every 6 weeks, we're short of pilots. Guys one of these statements isn't correct is it.
It's a good place all in all if you can take the rostering, but if you come, then know what it's like before you get here, otherwise you'll be unhappy. Pprune isn't a recruitment sitefor management, it's hopefully where the truth can be told pilot to pilot.
Oh and the post above highlights exactly what i was saying. I jst can't wait for more people like him to turn up.
And i see you have 2 nights in hanoi this week jump drive. and you're getting in at midnight tonight, back into saigon midnight tomorrow night, and working thursday night too. Some roster.
