Solid contract, the reality does not match it

First Officer · LGW · Jun 2026

WidebodyDirect hire0-1 yrsDoes not recommend

Pay lands on time and the per diems are accurate, which is more than I can say for my last airline. What wears you down is the standby pattern and how late the changes come through. [demo]

Pros

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.

Good aircraft, rostering is the problem

Senior Cabin Crew · LGW · Aug 2025

Regional jetDirect hire1-3 yrsDoes not recommend

The roster is published on the 25th and changes several times before the month starts. Days off get rostered and then removed at short notice, which makes anything outside work impossible to plan. [demo]

Pros

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.

Best fleet I have flown, worst crewing department

First Officer · LGW · May 2025

NarrowbodySelf-employed1-3 yrs

Fatigue reports get acknowledged and then closed with no change. Safety reports are handled properly, so it is clearly a crewing problem rather than a culture problem, but that does not help when you are on your fourth…

Pros

Pay arrives on time, every month.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.
