FLR, Bernoulli has summed it up for you. Novoa and his bunch of sycophants at Peterborough don't care for the airline or pilots, and so terms & conditions are being eroded year on year (as they are in many airlines). Our fellow pilots and crew are a great bunch to work with but you will find morale pretty low. If you're short haul only I'd be very surprised if you ever top 700 hours a year, unless you take day off payments which are very lucrative.
You will get what you are looking for in terms of rosters/time off/salary etc; AT THE MOMENT. Be advised that our "scheduling agreement" is what really protects us as we need around 5% more pilots to operate the programme than companies without those protections apparently. However, the management want to scrap the agreement, so we'll see how tough BALPA are.
It used to be a great place to work, not anymore, but the same can probably be said of many companies. It's all relative I suppose.
