Stable Checked.
Commuting on the Airbus just needs a bit of pre planning. Firstly live near a BA destination with 7+ daily flights like GVA, CDG, NCE, LIN, BCN. Then bid for 5 day trips. If you get the odd stand alone day you can try to drop them using your credit bank, or trade them with other pilots. Budget about £3k / year staff travel costs which is mostly APD these days. You should only have 4 commutes a month. You will probably have to stay in a hotel 3 times as long trips either start too early or end too late to commute that day. Report late and youre dead!
On long haul, commuting is simple. At LGW on 737 commuting would be very difficult as mostly day trips these days and Carmen bidding is run by bloke that hates pilots!
Enjoy the sun, live the life, fly BA. Got to beat the desert any day.
