Busy summers, quieter winters. Only once worked anywhere near maximum hours per month this summer. Plenty of standbys on a roster. Not so helpful if you live away from home. You get three RDOs per month, plus leave (which is capped in summer period to 7 days). You can roster protect a couple of duties per month too.

Rostering is random roster, with 5-6 days in a row quite often. Tactical use of leave days and RDO can give a semblance of lifestyle. Pilot management is fairly good. If you fly the company way, adhere to SOPs and stability criteria, you won't have any problems.

Are you contracting via Zenon or permanent contract?
