Hi, you are correct; its 2 weeks working, week contactable and a week off. At the moment Captains are being used on their contactables more than FO's. Someone said that there are a too many FO's at the moment, but maybe there are some promotions around the corner.

You can live as far away from your base as you want, its up to you to travel there at your own expense to position where they want you.

The reason crew are not moving on is people are afraid of moving onto a pax airline and being let go due to oil prices, recession, etc. Also ACL are very busy and have new routes coming up, also they are looking for 2 ATR French speaking pilots to fly the 737 on a 18month EAP contract. Everyone seems very happy at the moment.

Have you got a job or just thinking of applying.
