Prune is not quite the troll fest you're looking for either, ease up. If you've got nothing nice to say why bother hitting your keypad.

Luggage, in addition to the EBA details that Brakerider provided the FO's are all consistently doing max hours, certainly in SYD and MEL, some of the other ports where the flying is a lot less interesting things are a bit more cyclical but there will always be overtime if you want to hunt it down.

As far as a 787 window seat goes, it really is going to depend on whether the commercial case is there for expansion. The company will rightfully keep these cards very close to their chest.

With 11 787 (currently) and three indefinitely deferred orders and approximately 65 320/321's between JANZ (a lot of Australians are sent across the ditch to fill in) you can see the wait might be getting close to ten years, perhaps more. That's going to blow out a bit more than in the past due to them now hiring SO for the 787, up side though is that when you get a window seat you will not also be asked to be a second officer every other duty.

Long wait for commands too unless you go to New Zealand where it is possibly closer to 5 years. This seems to be partly because the flying is less interesting and also because the terms are not as favourable as ANZ.

I'm pretty happy to be here, it's not perfect but very,very good.

Hope that helps.
