What an interesting and important issue for Professional Pilots.
However, nobody dares to discuss it.
This subject deserves attention and efforts from everybody to fix this problem.
Airlines do not care about duty time regulations or else, just about profits.
Just look around what it is going in several countries with companies forcing their employees to a lower salary to cope with their financial loses.
However, the duty time remains the same, but routes expansion keeps going on, to “improve productivity and keep cost down”.
So in turn, pilots have to work more for a lower salary.
I hope that we will see some serious and professional discussion on this subject.
