BHX

Bootleg

Terms and Endearment thread is the best bet for specifics re rostering, pay and sectors.

Monarch at BHX operate very different seasonal schedules as I am sure you would expect.

Summer 15 was 8 based this summer although only 7 Monarch aircraft with Jet Airtime 73G the other one. Destinations are the usual suspects - PMI, MAH, IBZ, ALC, AGP, BCN, FAO, FNC, TFS, ACE, LPA, FUE, VCE, FCO, SSH, NCE, PVK, HER, DBV, BJV, DLM, GIB, LCA & PFO. It doesn't take much working out that the above basically means 2 sector days in the main if not all.

Winter sees the base only really shrink to 6/7 aircraft but much reduced flying especially Tuesday and Wednesdays (three used some months). They add ski routes to Salzburg and Turin but they are only weekly.

Summer 16 indicates 8 based again.

I am not going to endorse the previous comment but ownership has changed and a bit of background research might be worthwhile if you have not done that already.
