Cool Off days in a row

Is it possible to live far away from base, maybe abroad, if one works for example for B Midland, B Airways, KLM UK or the low fare companies when it comes to the roster. I would like to know if these companies roster the off days several in a row.

At BRAL/ MAL we do a 5 on 2 off 5 on 2 off 6 on 3 off pattern, Living away = costly.

Hope it helps!

Thumbs up

Air Contractors, on the A300, work an 8 on / 6 off pattern. 6 off is the average, occasionally it will be either 5 or 7 off, depending on which day of the week you start and finish.

Exclamation

Make sure you get it in your contract. But most important, check if your company have an interline agreement with an operator flying between your base and home. The rostering manager at Go Fly is doing a great job for those who commutes. Done it for years, and it works for me.

yo birdstrike arent you so lucky! I work for the same company as you but on the 727, guess what 5/6 on 2/3 off at the moment 2 off for last 3 weeks and next roster period as well,

We need pay parity as well!

I suppose you enjoy the bonus we earn for you! ha ha.

Well anyway i suppose when they replace the 727s with sheds or convairs it will be different!!!!!! u know!
