Pros
-great experience to start off your aviation career -roster is 5 on 3 off -One week is on earlies and the following is on lates -Annual leave is typically 20 days a year meaning u get 20 days allocated when you prefer -Some bases offer additional unpaid leave to crew especially during winter because there are less flights to be covered (could be a good thing if you want more holiday or bad because you work less therefore you don’t get paid)
Cons
-hard to get a transfer to Italy, Spain and Portugal so If you’re joining and thinking that you’ll get a transfer asap, FORGET ABOUT IT! People have been waiting for years! -being promoted isn’t as easy as it used to be -the first 6 months is your probation period -accomodation is not provided -a typical day could be with only 2 flights sometimes 4 flights and rarely 6, again depending on your base
