Hi Guys
Please, can someone comment on the WORKING CONDITIONS for Pacific Blue? I have seen the Virgin PB application, basic info, etc – BUT Looking for an inside view from the “horse’s mouth”, so to speak. Appreciate anyone who has/makes the time to reply.:ok:
BW
QUESTIONS:
Hours flown per month?
Do you do STANDBY DUTIES and do you get “called out” often/never (Auckland basing)?
Can you BID/REQUEST for your ROSTER (flights, standby, etc) or get what you given? How does it work?
Sign on before DEP (how long)?
Typical month’s roster including DAYS OFF & DAYS OFF in a row?
DAYS away per month?
Where do you fly ex AKL?
Flight deck atmosphere (from both seats)?
Management attitude to pilots?
Cabin crew attitude to pilots?
NET (in your pocket) take home PAY (for both seats)?
ALLOWANCES & how it works including take home $$?
Cost of living like in Auckland (I am a KIWI)?
Do guys leave so UPGRADES possible? How long?
ANY THING ELSE YOU WISH TO COMMENT ON?
