What was your previous Airline Airdance?
Are you one of these 1500 hr wonders who 3 yrs ago wouldn't be able to serve drinks or clean toilets on a widebody but now with the pilot shortage are flying right seat?
How times have changed. The majors don't work 15 days a month. It is a rare event when they fly over 10 days a month.
We get hammered and pilots here say it's an improvement. Give me a break.

EK was somewhat of a proper Airline when I joined and certainly better than the ****e low cost U.K. Airlines of today.
It seems you would like to join EK, hence the trolling.

Rosters have not got better in the last 2 years at all, in fact, worse.
I am always in the high 80s and even into the high 90s on occasion.
My months days off are usually 9 or 10.
I cant swap because the swap system is broken because of the extreme workload and restrictions placed on the pilots.
Leave months just compress the work into a shorter period.....
Now Airdancer with 4 posts to your name, how I as a TROLL have seen my roster improve!

Not A Troll, but they won't listen anyway!
Rosters in last 6 months certainly got better for me. The Captains rosters that I've seen don't seam to have improved much but its not consistent.
Over all when you combine east, west short flights in between, I've honestly never been as tired in a job as this. I've flown 95 hrs with other companies and never felt like some of the days I've had here.
But if you don't like leave.......... I will thanks

Airdancer - the state of 'some' rosters have improved as pilots have approached yearly maximums and they have to be given less flying.
You case is also specific. You like ULRs hence your rosters are good. Not the case for everyone especially those who do not like ULR flying. If you are doing 90 hours plus every month it is going to grind.
I like the ULRs for the same reason you do. Some months though you simply won't get any!
Good luck swapping. I do a lot of swapping (trying) but find that unless you are swapping exact days it is almost impossible. Or I swap a period of 10 days to make it work. Both of you in OT - swap denied!

6 posts and joined last month.
Either a new joiner on honeymoon, or a plant from the office.
