If you go on main european roster (approx 80% of crew are on this), then you will typically work:
two weeks on (mon -thurs night with middle weekend off down route)
then 1 week contactable - 1 week off
or 1 week off - 1 week contactable.
roster is issued for 2- 3 months approx 1- 2 months ahead.
remaining 20% of crews are on a roster operating route's out of bournemouth and gatwick. roster is still issued same as above, but will involve blocks of 2-3 nights work, and then a few days off/contactable., and the occasional weekend.
salary i guess for f/o is approx 29000 stirling then duty pay of 1.96 per hour, plus £10 per complete 24 hours.
Hope this helps.

'Does anyone know why AC are selling off ATR's in flight international?'
Hello, Does anyone know the answer to the above as i'm considering an ATR type rating and would like to know if employment options are decreasing and competition increasing!!!
Thanks

Reading this ad, it mentions that 2 ATR42s are available for sale OR (freight) charter work, in other words they might not be sold if more contract work comes ACL's way. Air Contractors currently have 16 ATR42s & 72s on strength, so even if these two are indeed sold, they still have a decent fleet...
