Depends on your base, but generally, just fewer sectors per day. They plan to now do 4 domestic rather than two international /two domestic.
The average will be 90 hrs a month over winter. Days off are rostered as: You get two double off a month and the rest are 3 single days. Day off starts at 12 gmt, so you can arrive back at base at 2 am and that is still a "day off"
Standy after day off starts at 00.00 or 3 am local at the moment. This means you cannot drink alcohol on days off before standby. Usually after day off is early start 3 gmt (6 local now) but report is STD- 1.15 mins, so transport pick up STD - 2 hrs. You cannot commute on these rosters, At Izmir base some guys were getting 3 days off in a row, but this is not the case so much now. AYT and SAW base is normally double off x 2 a month. Captains are run to the limit on duty hours at the moment.. but overall it is a good outfit.
