When to say NO!

[Sqwark2004]

Yet another riddle to rattle your brains.

Lets say you were working for a third level operator.

This operator had found a way to make you work hours, which for the last 15 years had been considered far too excessive. Special exemption from CASA. By making you work these hours the other pilot (with about 1/4 of your experience + resonably fresh to multi flying) was reduced to flying enough hours to only just keep him/her current on the operation.

Your rest facilities are far from desirable - a mattress on the floor. No heater, no fan etc even though they had been asked for several times.

Duty times and rest periods are been pressed to the absolute limits - with only minutes to spare at each end.

You are still required to re-confirgure and refuel the aircraft when it is due to be swapped for maintainence, resulting in you infringing on your rest period by 2 1/2 hours.

When using a temporary aircraft, you are instructed to operate it without the correct restraints.

You feel tired most of the time (almost falling asleep whilst flying).

You have tried everything from fatigue forms to refusing to work. Yet nothing has been done. No action taking. But you can't quit as you need the money, don't want a worse rep than neccessary, and want to keep flying because besides all this you do still enjoy it.


What would you do???
