Schedule / workload
 

How about a round of comparing schedules.

Maersk Air is 12 days on, 4 days off. And then 3 days off at company discretion during the 12 days on.

Lufthansa issues the next months' schedule on the 27th of the previous month, so I just received mine:

29th-2nd 4day trip with one day off at TLV
3rd day off
4th-8th 5day trip NightstopsSTR,VCE,MXP,HAJ
9th+10th days off
11th duty day to study new JAR OM/A
12th-14th 3day trip Nightstops DUS and MUC
15th one day trip to CMN
16th+17th Weekend off (requested)
18th day off
19th+20th nightshift to AMM
21st+22nd days off
23rd-27th 5day trip (requested) X-mas nightstops at HAM (where my parents live)
28th-1st days off

O.k. that seems like plenty of days off for one month, but as we only need 10 days off per month, but 35 each quarter and the last months were also very tight, in December I had to receive at least 12 days off.
The entire month gives me 75 h block time, converting to 89 h factorised to account for short haul flights (less than 4 h block time) so over hours pay(more than 73 h) should be plenty.
