RTA, ignore him/her - it's his FOURTH post where s/he has deliberately mentioned the America West scabs, in an attempt to get some bights.
His/her last post was full of ****e
....with still plenty of time to complete their duties.
As everyone has been made aware, the standards at
America West have long been questionable, and
planemad's accounts only go to
further confirm what lacsadasical, slap-happy operators they were!
Unless you are operating 10-12 hour flights surely it is not a big problem?
It's tour of duty time that's important - a pilot may be flying only 3 or 4 sectors but have in excess of a 12 hour duty period.
In fact they were always wanting to know why it took so long to turnround in Australia as compared to the USA.
Why don't you run off and ask
Dick Smith, sonny!!!
