easyjet sched
Hi everybody
I'm looking for news concerning EZY rostering.I read a thread on this subject but too much "in house vocabulary" made that I didn't understand much.
I know the answer for 1 year but here is the question = how many days are you ON/OFF in a week or a month ?
asking that to know if there would be a possibility to commute.
thanks a lot

That is what I found after one minute in the search function!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roster pattern is fixed at 5-3-5-4 with 3 off after the 5 earlies. 5-4-5-4 is to be considered by Company/Union after this summer - but nothing is certain yet. Twice a year you have a 4 week "reserve" period. This is theoretically a month of standby and you're used as required. Historically though it has ended up as a full rotered month a la CAP371
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And there is much more discussed about EZY rostering and Off days!
5-3-5-4 if that is to much "inhouse", is that better to understand?
5 ON-3 OFF-5 ON-4 OFF

..... Anyway dear Scopiton,
If your looking to commute from further afield than europe you might want to consider 75 or 50%, off course less money, but a roster that makes you enjoy flying / enjoy living

Some time ago, I asked about the 75% and 50% rosters.
I´m still confused. How is that 100% work in 75% time?
Anybody could help me?
I´m not too fast with this one...

TooFast/Arturo,
The same happens in the current company where I work (not for much longer).
On a 100% roster, you don´t necessarily work to your FTL and could quite easily do a cheeky 2 X 1 hour trip before going home. What you get is less days off.
On a 75% roster you still are subject to the same FTL (900 hours per year), so the company takes advantage of this to cram more flights into your day as you have more days off.
On a 50% roster it is physically impossible to cram 900 hours per year into your schedule, so you do in fact work less.
Seems like a con when you consider you are losing 25% of your pay, but for a lot of people it is more important to have the time off than to work harder!
Having said that, as you will be earning less, your overall tax burden will also be less so the difference in pay might not be all that great.

Not quite true FJ,
The Balpa agreement we have on part-time states a mximum of 490 flying hours per 365 consecutive days for 50% and a maximum of 700 hours for 75%
Sure you'll get longer days but you work only 10/15 days a month. I agree that 75% seems a bit useless, as I don't do many more than 15 days a month full time anyway..
@ Arturo: I'm not sure how the pattern would work, if you could work month on month off or so, but why not call and ask easyjet?
Part time is only available for a limited amount of people per base, so its no guarantee you'll get it.

It could take years before your part-time is granted - keep that in mind if you're going to leave family behind and commute.
