Hello Hollywood316

I've just had a look at the March rosters for 737 LGW. As you can imagine there is a huge variation across the board as pilots have leave, reserve training etc which all tends to break up an average line.

What I can see is a lot of hard work. Guys working a full month seem to have 18 or 19 days in uniform with 12 or 13 days off. The work is mainly in blocks but there are single days off. A large number of trips are out and back but some nightstops appear -BLQ for instance. 2 sector days appear to be rare.

Great training ground for a junior as there is plenty of exposure to take offs/landings and Northern European weather. Our 737's are in pretty good condition for their age but will need replacing over the next few years..
