Emirates B777 Pilot Roster Monthly Schedule
Your roster is released once a month. While it’s not 100% predictable, most pilots find the system fairly structured.
Here’s what a typical Emirates B777 Pilot roster schedule looks like:
- Flying hours: Around 75 – 90 block hours per month.
- Annual hours: 800 – 900 hours per year
- Trip patterns: Most trips last between 2 – 6 days. Some may include multiple destinations before returning to Dubai.
- Days off: Usually 8 – 12 days off per month, depending on operational requirements.
- Layovers: Commonly 24 – 48 hours. Some ultra-long-haul flights include longer rest periods. Days off are in Dubai
- Destinations: A mix of long-haul (Sydney, Los Angeles, São Paulo) and medium-haul (Delhi, Nairobi, Istanbul).
This means your month may include two or three long trips, each with several layovers, rather than lots of short turns.
B777 Roster Lifestyle in Dubai
When you’re not flying, you’ll be at home in Dubai with your family or enjoying time off. Emirates provides furnished accommodation or a housing allowance, which makes settling in smoother. Many pilots use their days off to explore the region or travel using staff discounts.
