Kempus, I agree that the distribution of flights within the base seems to be random, There are some who get 2-3 canaries and back a week yet others get eg 1 Ireland and back and 1 N. France and back, the former gets 25+ hours in the week whilst the latter gets 4 so I totally understand the point you make, it does seem unfair. I don’t understand the planning / distributing of flights. there seems to be no obvious control over the equality and theres no reversal of schedules so that you can have a v.quiet week followed by a decent week of flying. If you knew that would happen it would make budgeting a bit easier. Currently have to budget for ultra low hours and only spend on essentials, nice at christmas
