richard III:
I understand that there are quite a few crew that left family in Europe and they just travel back on their off days, specially on the 777 as rosters are rather stable. Any inside comments on that? Screening with two ME carriers within a month and would like to make an informed desision (DEC 777)
Thanks in advance
Informed decision would be to take the other M.E carrier over QR.
QR comes up last on the big three consistantly (EK, EY, QR).
The T7 is a more tolerable fleet to be on and you can communte home for a few days, however, consistant time changes and then going home for another time change to "rest with the family" will soon wear thin.
The benefit for the other two airlines is that the lifestyle is WAY more tolerable and with things to do that would be more of an option for your family to be with you rather than in another country.
Do a search, you will find this holds true.
Good luck.
