The T's and C's are pretty impressive as you might expect, in particular the control you have over your roster and therefore your life. Even as a junior F/O you can manage your roster ( especially long haul ) so that you work when you want to, even to the extent that its possible to have as much as 35 days off in a row if you play it right. Obviously you would have to build up a credit of worked hours to do this but auto trip swaps, overtime and leave are all easily managed on line with no need to contact crewing.
A slightly rose tinted version from the recruitment team. Thanks to EASA FTLs, Roster Assign, 'Closed' days and Bidline alleviations pretty much everything in that paragraph is ancient history. As a junior FO you'll work when the company wants you to work, which will be every weekend, and you won't be able to swap those trips to weekday trips (or any other) because the company have restricted the software swap functionality. You'll need to contact crewing for anything other than direct swaps between crew members and don't expect anyone to answer the phone. Same goes for leave swaps/changes. You can't build up any credited hours until you're senior enough to get a trip line (plan on 5 years in long haul), and then you can't cash them in because if you leave a big enough gap the company will Roster Assign a trip in there for you. You can however cash those hours in by dropping a trip and picking it straight up at overtime at about 87% of your normal hourly rate.
Still, at least it's in the UK.
PS There are no bonds. Short haul minibus commands will only be three years at LGW, there won't be a repeat of this years junior LHR anomaly as all the people who thought there was no point in bidding for it now know otherwise
