There's only about 700-800 people on MF at the moment so you do get to fly with each other quite often. Obviously as the fleet grows you will see the same people less and less. Not always a bad thing! Lol.

Dear Brighton Rocks, reading your scheduling agreement it is clearly stated that only duties that exceed 13 hours duty time achieve two days off, all the rest achieve only one or even as little as 15 hours. Do crew always get generally 2 days off after all longhauls? You could, according t scheme for example do a ORD with one day off, but would you get generally 2?

African trips you can have a short haul the following day

As BabyJack has posted above, the African trips, you can work the following day due to the similar time change, just as with charter, you could do an Orlando the day after a Banjul there and back (which I have done many times). Its not ideal, and perhaps not ethical, but i'm afraid it is legal.
All other rostered long haul's trigger 2 days off 99% of the time, but it is possible to only get 1 day off if called from standby - even though its rare.

Thanks for your clarification! I have an interview coming up for CSM. Do you know which kind of questions they would be asking and how is the day structured?

Hello guys,

Before I post a question, I wanted to thank the contributors, perhaps on behalf on so many of us: no other airline on this website has this much support for their new starters. Amazing!

I have one silly question, don't shoot me for it. :) I got it from somewhere that there is mid- and long-haul classification of flights: when would a flight become mid-haul, and when is it long-haul?.. This muct be related to the length of flight. Is there a max number of hours when the flight shorthaul? Would all short-hauls be there-and-backs, or that would also have something to do with time zones? Say - Kiev, St.Peterburgh are also classified as shorthaul; or, would they be mid-haul? What is the legal requirement to rest for crew after a mid-haul flight, if there is such a classification? I already learnt that for long-hauls the rest time is 24 hrs.

Thankx!
