Standbys can be put to good use too, like filling in the Aer Lingus application form
Anyway I'm a FO based in MAD with just over 500 on type, get one or two standbys per week and 60-65 hours per month. Needless to say I'd rather be based at home and take a few hours less per month but I don't see that happening for a while- if ever
. Oh well back to the Aer Lingus application.....
