I'm not talking about CAP371, we as cabin crew are governed by our Agreement for Service (AFS), this is a legal contract entered into by the company and the crew union which sets out limitations on types of duty, duty hours, max duty hours, rest requirements etc... it is MUCH stricter than CAP371 but crewing on HUNDREDS of occassions in my 14 years flying with bmi have tried to break the agreement . Yes they have never broken CAP371( technically) BUT they have certainly broken the rules of the AFS which is what we should be working to.
I know crewing have a hard job, basically because they don't have enough crew to cover the program ( due to cost) but thats not my fault..
and I'm only twisted because bmi made me that way..
