Airlines would love to schedule crews to a week of earlies or lates
(Ryanair do and you see more compliments than complaints on these patterns). However, CAP371 does not allow this to happen.
CAP371 has not stayed abreast with the industy and its Crews, its about 10 years behind the times. Crews dont mind working hard but any increased productivity should be traded against more time off.
The current norm is work crews harder and give you less time off.
