A quick question...
Hi guys and gals, could one of you answer a question I have?
My wife is an agency nurse, working all over the country, and she worked yesterday afternoon with a chap who said that he was a hostie for a major British airline.
According to him he had come back from Milan on an AM sector, got home, phoned the agency and booked himself onto a shift at the same hospital in the afternoon.
He said that he did this a lot as he got about 10 days off a month from the airline and this bumped his wages considerably.
My question is aren't you guys limited to what you can do on your days off with regards to rest time, 2nd jobs etc, as we in ATC are? Would the airline be aware of this situation?
I realise that you guys do an important and tiring job in terms of safety, and my wife does an important and tiring job in terms of nursing, so the thought of someone doing both and burning the proverbial candle strikes me as being a little bit silly....
Thoughts appreciated.
