When you guys/gals get time would really like to know the following:
1. Typical roster for a junior FO, say for example over a week period.
2. Number of days on/off and holiday entitlement.
3. Likely number of home and airport standbys in a month.
4. Number of night stops in a month.
5. Number of hours flown a year.
6. Are there any regional variations depending on base location?
Thanks in advance.

Crosswind Limits,
1. 6 day working week (7 if you include the flexi day but that *should* occur only once a month). Typical day is 4 sectors, no wasted time like my old employer :) . Out of the 6 days normally 4 or 5 days rostered flying and 1 or 2 standbys. Can't really say I get called out that much.
2. Days off. Well it's 6 on 3 off so a typical month would be 10 days off 2 Rest days (went from lates onto days off). Holiday entitlement is 5 weeks but becuase of the fixed roster (6 on 3 off) taking 7 days off gives 12 days off in total, 21 days off for taking 2 weeks off etc etc.
3. 3-4 standbys per month, airport standby only at Luton I think.
4. Nightstopping is kept to a minimum. Haven't had any in the last 2 months.
5. At the moment about 7-800 hours per year.
6. Dunno
Hope that helps.

Go as follows
1. Typical roster for a junior FO, say for example over a week period.
Two/Four Sectors (STN FAO STN) (STN-Munich-STN-Newcastle-STN) Are typical of two and 4 sector days. No Night flights.
2. Number of days on/off and holiday entitlement.
Same as EZY (I think)!
3. Likely number of home and airport standbys in a month.
Depends 3 on my roster- didn't get called on my last.
4. Number of night stops in a month.
2/3 nights- in GLA
5. Number of hours flown a year.
Close to 900
6. Are there any regional variations depending on base location?
Scotland/Bristol/EMA/STN
The rosters in GO are rock solid, it's very unusual for a change. How about EZY?
