Well, well, well...no, I didn’t know this. But why am I not surprised? For the past 25 years, ever since the infamous “commitment days” in the early 90’s, and up to the non payment of the 13th month bonus to pilots this past December, it seems that the pilots have been singled out as unworthy of consideration in one form or another. Sad, but obviously true.
Case in point: I met my cabin crew recently in the hotel lobby of a regional outport. The FO and I arrived the previous night after a max duty day battling storms and Chinese ATC, with an integrated pattern through Hong Kong, culminating in a minimum rest period of 10 hours in the hotel...
The cabin crew informed us that they had been in the hotel for two nights, with 48 hours rest! Kind of says it all, doesn’t it?
