FlyBe Nightstops?
A quick question: Do you FlyBe lads and ladesses do any nightstopping or is it all home to your own bed at night?

Re: FlyBe Nightstops?
Depends which base you are at. I was based in Belfast and would nightstop about 3 nights a month on average. Some months there was no nightstops and others you would get loads. Had a regular nightstop in Bristol and Bordeaux, the rest were usually cover for other bases, I spent a couple of very boring weeks in Guernsey because they were short of FOs down there. So you will nightstop from time to time.

Re: FlyBe Nightstops?
OK,thanks A/H. What about rostering - a predictable 6 on/3 off sort of thing or ad hoc and messy?
Re: FlyBe Nightstops?
Predictable? You are joking. Random is a much better adjective. You can request days off although you are not guaranteed to get them. From BHD the only nightstops in recent months were Bordeaux with the odd secondment to Guernsey which was tedious in the extreme. They had stopped cabin crew from nightstopping on the BODs which made it even worse than before. Hotel in BOD is not particularly close to anywhere either. And don't try and drink your own wine by the pool - miserable to55ers!

there are no regular nightstops ex BHD at this time of year. Rumour has it the BOD is returning in the summer. I have always drunk my own wine by the pool with no problems!!

Re: FlyBe Nightstops?
If you want to do anything on your roster, don't choose bhx as a base. Not much in the way of nightstops at the moment. In the summer however, literally anything is possible. Its not at all unusual to receive changes on check in and out. We certainly get through alot of printer paper!! Most of the other bases seem to be more roster stable, but you work long days wherever you go.

...now, what's wrong with the famous NWI nightstop?
Just got back - and apart from a consistent problem with F/Os not being willing/able to dance (!) we usually have a good time
