- time to command upgrade?
The first batch of RCA's are about to commence their upgrade training in October and FO to RCA at the same time. Direct entry Captains are still being recruited which will slow further upgrades.
- Typical rostering pattern?
8 days off per month. You may get a trip over 23 days via all bases/destinations without a day at your home base. See Subpart Q!
- Rest strategy on layovers (minimum rest in hotels?)
See Subpart Q!
- Bidding for flights
You can bid but don't expect any satisfaction.
- Job role of Relief Captain?
It's a Senior FO who sits in the left seat when the Captain is in the bunk. Operates from the right seat at other times.
