JETLAGGER...... what can be said to someone as blinkered and as wrong as you are.
The shuttle is tiring BUT it is not a threat to anyones health..... I have done it as many others have...have you?
It is on average a 15 hour tour of duty... you can confirm this with the FAAA as i have. We can do 20 hours unplanned on a Longe range sector and this is only 1 hour above what the company could do anyway without a dispensation .... so cut the crap about it being dangerous.
If it was dangerous the Aussie authorities would not allow it (CASA).
You continue to mislead people as you always do.... there is no US restriction on american crews to do this sector.
As mentioned by several on here already, no one is being forced to do this shuttle. People are happily and voluntarily bidding for it.
Furthemore, the only time a crew voted because they were going to go over 17 hours resulted in the crew voting to continue..So much for your crap that they are so soooo tired.
You are a joke and unfortunately if crew listed to you..we will be in all sorts of strife..
We can then bring back the former FAAA fools who can then organise a no smile day...cause we will have reason to not smile as overseas based crew do most of the LAX patterns.
