Oh dear Anti-ice, I'm afraid you are the one talking out of the proverbial posterior once again!

well once again cm , you are talking out of your a**e, as in that month , i have spent 200 mins in compass (mandatory briefing) 40 mins in compass (on 1 turnaround) ,and 75 mins in CAT , which equals 5hrs15 mins versus the 175 hours duty .

The briefings cannot be treated as 'nothing'
200 minutes in Compass (mandatory briefing). Well that'll be 10 briefings all month then. Then you really try to convince us that in a whole month you've spent just 40 minutes in Compass and 75 minutes in CAT? Well there's two things wrong there - the first being that if you only had 40 minutes in CCO you should have been in CAT anyway, and the second is that to have just one visit to CCO and CAT apiece in a month means you've only done two 3 sector days in the whole month. I know your inefficient but even that is going too far! Evidently you only lke doing 2 sector there and backs, those CDG returns with 7 crew on a 321 are particularly gruelling.

You also seem to have forgotten the minimum 1hr per day you'll waste sitting on a bus on a typical cabin crew roster, so lets knock five hours per week off your actual 'work'. Why don't you tell us how many hours you actually spend flying these months and how many sectors that was then we can work out how much time you actually spend working and how many hours you spend sitting in CCO/CAT/on a bus reading 'Hello'.

And if you really want to talk about reading newspapers, remember we have a camera and can see you reading the papers at 1L, which is something you seem to do an awful lot of given that the only work on board for you is doling out tea, coffee or tap water. Funny how you seem to think that you know what goes on in the flight deck even though you are only there for about 10 minutes each flight as a SCCM and not at all as a junior. I guess BASSA must have told you.
