Short term with DHL via Contractair
I am considering working for DHL via Contractair during the winter for six months.
The contract states that overtime will be paid above 75 hours a month, but do you really fly that much?
Also, an idea of a month’s roster would be greatly appreciated.

No chance at all of flying over 75 hours in a month, maybe about 3-400 a year I believe from the workmates aloft. I am not a pilot with them, so sorry can't give you a sample roster.

75 hours flying in any one month (on the 757 fleet) would be impractical to achieve because of the nature of the work. Crews spend the bulk of their duty and STBY time in crew rooms waiting for connecting flights to link before loads can be despatched. You'll be doing about 30 hours flight time a month. Expect to average about 70 hours a week away from home, and more if you're a commuter.
