F/O @European legacy carrier(making profit)
@shorthaul fleet: the hardest working group within the company
max 750hrs/year(as per collective working agreement) actual~500-600hrs/year
being treated with respect (and treating the people around me accordingly)
min 12 days off per month (as per collective working agreement), actual 3-4 days home per week (winter)
Deadheading in business/first, good hotels, food, rest periods etc
good salary and benefits, excellent pension sceme (retirement at 56) and social security
strong union.

Did not hear any colleague complain when comparing current working environment with that of 20 yrs ago.

but for how long? especially when taking into account the current status of the world economy..


kind regards
