Another article about night shifts....

Yes, we're going to cop it 10 years earlier than if we'd all stayed on 320's and 737's!

On the other hand, that provident scheme doesn't need to stretch as far...

Talking about the provident scheme, there are VERY STRONG indications that the markets are about to turn (South) strongly negative, consider cash to preserve your current fund value. If I am wrong you lose the minor gains over the next few months while holding cash, if I am right you might lose rather a lot more. Play it safe in my opinion and wait and see.

Here we go, pilots giving advice about careers and money. Playing to their strengths as usual. Anyone care to throw in some great property deals while we are at it?

Right back on subject.

The article below highlights the importance of sleep (on board & elsewhere) as a mitigation.

Now as we all know there has been a recurrent issue with CRC rest on a certain fleet for many years AND a lack of adequate rest length during ULR layovers for all Fleets. I won't even get into the night TAs for our poor 330 colleagues.

Very troubling IMO.

You may want to copy and paste and keep for that rainy day when you have an 'incident' and are facing the 3rd floor prosecution team.
