Minimum of 8 days off a month, generally comes closer to 10-12.
108 minimum in a year plus 20 days of leave increasing to 25 after 5 years I believe. (Don't quote me on that though)

Depending on where you're based, either day trips with the odd night away thrown in or almost continuous touring.

A few people do commute, albeit mostly within the UK. Staff travel's fairly useable if you're organised/ patient/ clued in.
A block of days off has to be 60 hours. Ie. finish on a late, two days off then start on a late. Or finish on a late with 3 days off before an early. A gaping loophole allows the company to get around this on occasion though.

Not sure about starting salary, circa £25k basic last I heard. Climbs fairly quickly after the first year though, around 3.5 years to command at the moment.
£2.10 an hour whenever you're at work (either flying or sat in a hotel)

Not a 'good club to be flying for', it's an alright airline job though.
The dash keeps you on your toes and with the length of sectors generally sub-1 hour, not much chance to get bored in the cruise.
