Hi,
I believe a few companies (e.g. Qantas Uk) give crew a whole month of stand by every year. I am interested how that works out for people especially commuters who live further than 90minutes from their base?
Do you just book yourself into a B&B for the whole month?
Within this month of Stand by, do you still get days off rostered, so that you can return home for a bit here and there?
When you get called for a trip, do you get automatically a certain amount of days off when you come back, or are you straight back on Stand by?
Can you try and swap onto flights so that you have less stand by time?
Are you allowed to take leave in your stand by month?
Thank you for any information regarding stand by month,
Dolley
