Really depends i guess. I used to enjoy a nice work style with 4 to 5 on, 2 to 5 off, either earlies where i was home by 2 pm or lates where i had to start working around 2 pm. No nights away. Nowaydays we are supposedly working a 5 on 2 off pattern, however it is usually more like a 4 on 1 off, starting with early work and ending very late, no nights during work pattern at home. Days vary between 6 and 20 hours and we're all so damn knackered that the only good sleep we get is on the flightdeck. It is all legal according to EU-OPS subpart Q, but damn, can it be tiring. Anyway, lucky if i have 9 to 11 full nights at home, it can be far less although the minimum days off per month is 9 and we need to get at least 30 per 3 months.
