Initially in 2007 Jet offered 8 days on 7 off....this was a little unworkable and was changed a few times, I think it ended up 12/9........New Zealanders and myself did 6 weeks/2 weeks, as the commute was too long for the shorter rotations...remember a lot of those guys were based in London/Brussels/New York...and were able to be home in a few hours...with the new wet lease Istanbul based there will certainly be an opportunity for European Pilots to sneak home between trips....
