Are things really that bad when compared to the vast majority of regional and charter outfits within the UK and Europe? For example, I can't imagine many operators, if any, are a Mon-Fri existence and particularly at the regionals, 4 sector days are the norm.


I would be very much interested in finding out more about the lifestyle and perks of a recent entry to the SH fleet, for example...


Sample roster
Days off
Ability to get certain days off in advance (i.e. 4-6 weeks)
Ability to get leave booked well in advance
Staff travel (when eligible)
Length of working day


Also, I have been told that a hold pool is used for successful candidates? As someone who is part of the way through the selection process, it would be interesting to know how long people are spending in that hold pool once they get the nod from BA. Does anyone know current waiting times for a contract to be offered?


Thanks all.
