I don’t think anyone wants to be flying 160 hour rosters whilst others on the fleet are on stand down. I’m sure there is a way that we can ensure that where there is flying to be done on a fleet that it is shared as much as possible. I’d be happy to fly half a roster if it meant everyone got half a roster.
Of course for that to happen it means that we need to be doing half the flying and that’s still a fair way away. It also means that A330 pilots may be getting half a roster whilst the 747 pilots remain stood down. That’s not a great outcome either.
Full credit to the managers who have to work through this particular bun fight!
