Conditions for Finnair Pilot Jobs		last update
Roster	Random roster with at least 10 days off per month. Possible to bid up to 5,5 specific days off, but those are quite poorly granted. For every "burnt" off day request you are compensated 300 eur, so basically off day requests have been sold to the company. Roster published against the EASA rules only 7 days beforehand. Possibility to plan life ahead is very poor, and the company is not very interested in doing anything about it.	6/Mar/24
Leave	According to the Finnish annual leave act. At least 30 paid days off per year.	6/Mar/24
Staff travel	Yes	10/Sep/12
