Trust me when I arrived in Dubai incidentally from THY where the rosters were loads easie to manage and much better in B737 fleet! I also found it odd, I was an FO then and the skippers would often ask for the actual weather.
Vortex ..I'm talking of Cpt rosters in THY..not FO that had it a quite bit easier. I flew 999,5 hours in 11 months... kind of enough for me bye bye. Ryanair is a dream airline if compared.
