Phone the CAA

The CAA are generally in the management's pocket.

If you phone them you become the whistle blower and we all have seen examples of what happens to them.

The whistle blower is suddenly the problem and is seen as a discontented employee and he is dismissed by spin.

The CAA will tell you to get organised through Balpa to limit duty times and get a rostering agreement.

As I said earlier in my remarks the CAA needs to be proactive the problems are out there but just like everthing in life you have to look for it. The problem of fatigue is out there and the revised CAP 371 or that clown from Brussels Bart Simpson are not going to fix it.
