Etihad A330 roster
Hi there, hoping for some info please, my husband is about to start training on the A330...
Any info you would have about what a roster would look like ie:longest/shortest trips etc would be great.
Just to have some idea what to expect..
His interview was for a different fleet, so we dont have any info on A330.
Thank you.....

Shortest trip is 4 hours total time at work including briefing. Longest at the moment is 9 days.
Expect about 10 days off a month 10-12 days flying and the rest stby duties.
Expect the roster to change on a daily basis, so any plans become totally irrelevant.
Have fun..

cameljockey,
can you explain what constitutes a 9 day trip? ie can you give a specific example of all the places you would fly to starting from AUH and ending at AUH that would take a total of 9 days.
Many thanks.

daviddea, it's much easier to get to AUH than to DXB from southern Dubai (Jebel Ali or Marina areas). 4 lanes all the way and back at your disposal and with lights at night. You don't find this stuff in many places worldwide.
I wished they were solar-powered. No reasons for not to be with so much sunshine. I guess no need, as yet, to think about it with so much oil and at over 100$ a barrel.

Helpful wives
Hey JetJock; Nothing wrong with a wife that does the research. Maybe Tad's husband is busy flying. Besides the roster effects the hole family, as she is the one who will be in a foreigen country with the kids. I think it's great that a wife is interested in her husband's career.

Frankbama,
Husband been flying since 18th August! I don't think so!
I would've thought the husband would be making the inquiries by now, as he is the one that is going to be working/flying here in the end. After that he would discuss it with the wife and see what's good for the family.
We actually have the wives flying in EY, whilst the husbands are not pilots at all!
If he is about to start, that would indicate that he has accepted the job already, and it's not going to make a difference to the family now. However, as soon as he starts, he has access to the AIMS and is able to look up other pilots roster's, to have an idea.
I don't know anyone that is going to give themselves away by showing off their rosters to an unknown source. I don't know of pilots complaining about their rosters on the A330 fleet, other than 2am departures, which applies to all fleets, but this doesn't mean that there are no complaints at all. I am not aware of them as I write this piece.
Longest flight is Bejing to Abu Dhabi with a 3 man crew. A330
Longest flight away from home is about 9 days Abu Dhabi-Singapore-Brisbane-Singapore-Abu Dhabi. A330
Longest two man sectors is possibly Abu Dhabi-Johannesburg A330
I welcome correction regarding the above, or below.
Layovers are not very long, from 3 hours (Split duty-hotel time??? yes this is correct, 3 hours) in Delhi, in the hotel if an A332 flies it (usually A340), 6 hours in Mumbai hotel(split duty usually), 12 hours Johannesburg some days and another at 33 hours, 12 hours Paris and some longer 2 nights, 24 hours London. Brussels is longer as the flights are not daily. Longest layover I believe is a Milano, 3 nights.
Have a look at the website and find all the destinations, but it will take a long time to fly to them all. Your husband might be lucky and specialize in Peshawar a few times.
One roster request per month.
Flights that are double daily, have shorter 12 hour lay overs eg. Dublin, Johannesburg. London's are usually 24 hours.
I hope this all helps you TAD and I trust you will pass it onto your husband then!

HI guy's
Mr Tad here........
Just to set the record straight, I was interviewed for the 777 in july, was told in august that they no longer had positions on that fleet and offered the 330.
That is why We where anxious to get an idea of roster for 330, as we pretty much knew what the 777 did from the interview.
Yes I have been extremely busy flying, being the summer season here in charterville.......
As we both fly,don't see why it would matter which one of us should make the enquiries as it effects both our lives.
Thank's to you all that gave us valuable and informative info....
We are looking forward to getting out there in the next few months....
Safe Flying

What are the duty and flight time limitations. Do they use the FAA regulations or ICAO or is it something else?
What are the rest requirements? What are hotels you stay in like? How long are the overnights?
What are the average monthly days off?
How often can you travel out of the country with your family?
