Don’t get me wrong. There are pilots of all sexes who genuinely need a carer’s line but the flow-on effects for other (particularly the junior) pilots is a poorer lifestyle overall. They too have families and loved ones but by default spend more weekends away and have more disrupted rosters as a result of Carer’s lines.
Thats a big issue imo
I qualify for one (CL) but they're not available due resources... So my kids are worth less than others and I do all the **** trips they don't want and extra blank lines.
Thanks a lot
for how long do people qualify? When the kids are in their 20s? Oops better retire before paying back all those BLs...

But that's not really what this thread is about
