Why exactly?
Because before we all start whingeing about how hard it is flying 900 hours I think a distinction between 900 hours SH and 900 hours including several hundred fast asleep in a bunk should be made. Or is sleeping equally tiring as being awake at the controls?

Many of our 'junior' pilots are immensely experienced operators from other professional organisations ( including numerous ex-captains)
Which is why I said 'newly qualified'.

Dirty Mac

Life in BA may not be perfect but I know of very few people who actually leave and very few with real life experience of other occupations or other flying jobs who would agree with the more vociferous whingers who really have no idea what they actually have.



I shall bow out of this one now but feel free to continue the abuse, I will read it.
