Not an airline but I cannot help but to remember the discussion I had with a Private Jet Management company that thought I was being unreasonable to refuse 36 hours between rests! Their arguement being that I had not flown for 3 days so I have aquired so much rest I could just go and go and go?
On a serious point these managers simply have no understanding of these issues. They see the FTL's as a hinderence, nothing more.
As I write this I am reminded of another situation... Moscow to Far East to Sydney, one crew! When I asked the idiot that accepted it he said "I need a job."
We are our own worst emenies?
