Stan Wooley, does the phrase "tongue in cheek" have any meaning to you?? Smiley not enough of a clue, I apologise.
But as for the implication, may I suggest reading the Cabin Crew forum once in a while, just as an example.
Oh and call me a tad cynical but:
I recently operated a 15hr 40 min two sector duty to get pax home, including just under ten hours flying. Thats on a two pilot wide bodied jet , continuous duty without a break.
Is this not what you are paid to do? Just curious you understand, as I assume all was legal regarding crew duty time and you were operating a scheduled service!
