BALPA like to trot out this ethos at the big orange too, where attrition rate is very high. The individual pilots can’t really be blamed for wanting a bit of extra dinero with the cost of the world. If people are using their fatigue mitigation tools then the message should be out there for the company to see it’s not working. Surely at five trips a month there’s no scope for picking up any overtime at all, so which super-humans are actually picking this stuff up?
Virgin seem to be recruiting for courses into 2024 so one would expect that people picking up overtime isn’t cutting the numbers too much?
Lets just hope the golden three comes good.
