Thomsonfly nightstops
Did a search on this but couldn't find the info:
How much nightstopping can you expect at Tfly, and on the 757 fleet in particular?
I understand that there may be quite a bit of covering for other bases, but are there any scheduled layovers downroute? If so how often do these sort of trips crop up on your roster?
Also, any info on which bases are short of FO's on the 75?
cheers for any help,
abra

SSH is about the only scheduled one at present (other Egyptian ones?). If you are on 757, sooner or later you will be on 767 too and eventually into the long haul list. Then it is up to you from nil (ie opting out) to as much as you can get.
Once Carmen gets going there will be more as I understand it.
Re bases. If you are MAN or LGW especially, you will get a certain amount of UK nightstops, again Carmen may up this. As for FO slots at bases, constantly changing due promotions etc with a fairly dynamic seniority list. With a massive health warning, I think most places except BRS and CWL have gaps although I heard a whisper that LGW is full at present. End of Health Warning! The conventional advice (if, as I assume you are just joining) is bid for what you want, not what you think you'll get. PM me your crew number and name and I'll give you the contact name in LTN who has most of the answers! If this is a casual enquiry, I'm sure you will understand that I'm unwilling to post that info in open forum.
