Stan,
What a complete load of !!!!e you speak. I presume you are someone who wants to report at the time it says on your roster and be home 30 minutes after your off duty time on the roster......ever thought about a career change...??
you work for a company, a business, and they are simply covering their backsides by rostering you SBY's before/after filghts in order to cover on-the-day disruption.
Say you are based in LGW, and you have an afternoon JER, whats that; a total of 1hr30m flight time? Please tell me whats wrong with you covering say an early morning PMI of afternoon ALC; god formbid this interfere's with your drinking time??
!!!!e happens mate, planes go tech etc and someone has to be there to pick up the pieces...why not you?
