8 garantueed days off whowwww.

A well known German airline with over 50 years in the business. We fly short, medium and long with two different aircraft types; narrow and widebody mixed.
I have 11 days off a month but only 4 are garanteed, the rest is like darts.
Sometimes the day before you are not sure you will have off.
The roster is very unstable. You only get a roster a week before the month starts. If you want to request days off you have to do it 2 months in advance. Every standby creates a whole messup of your roster if you are called for a round trip or a longrange flight. In 6 years I had only one block vacation as requested.
I think there is worse but there is better for sure (I have seen it)

My opinion,... EU Ops made it even worse. If we woud not have had a collective working agreement, it would have been a nightmare.
