Loganair
Does anyone know what the average shift patterns would be for a new joiner to Loganair?
Is nightstopping involved, and if so how much?
If anyone can give examples of their own experience whilst flying for them it would be really useful. Thank you.

Nightstops at Sumburgh, Kirkwall, Inverness, Londonderry, Knock. Maybe 4-8 a month. If there's a pattern to the shifts it eludes me. Great fun though and what you do depends on where you are based; Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen.

Sorry Lee, to answer your question seriously, Loganair has it's problems like every other airline, but the flying experience you'll gain is second to none. After flying in and out of Islay on a stormy december night everything else just seems a bit easier!
You will work like a trojan for the first few months to get your line training done and build your hours up, then it varies from 8-12 flying days a month with a couple of nightstops to 20+ flying days a month with 8+ nightstops.

Try 20 days flying a month as a norm, and probably restricted due to duty hours - not FDP since the nature of the flying is mainly short sectors. 6 sectors a day is not uncommon. Expect about 500 hours flying p.a.
Once on line, the only time your flying will reduce is when a significant new intake are training. Quieter perhaps, but then longer to wait for ATPL issue, and the means to escape to an Airbus paying £40k+ p.a.
