Lets analyse that shall we:
if it makes you feel any better,we only get paid £4.37 if we work between 1300 and 2000.
No it doesn't, but I presume you overlook the basic pay you'll be earning that day? Or is that just a retainer for your services?
ive worked plenty of flights with lower than normal levels recently, OF COURSE we wouldnt delay the flight for extra crew
Well its nice to see somebody making a sacrifice now that you've so little to do on board. Of course once the grubs back it'll be back to square one again, delaying flights for an extra crew member cos you've got one too many Club pax.
You really dont know what you are talking about carnage
Many years LHR shorthaul says I do.
if we DO have a turnaround break it is normally 40 mins -
40 minutes! Are you trying to tell me you get a CAT everyday? There are plenty of 2-3 hr turnarounds in CCO every day. Perhaps you only do there and backs?
YOU are sat down all day
Kind of hard to fly the aircraft standing up.
and we frequently do 11hr+ with no break.
Lets see, 1hr25 report, 45 mins clear, 45 min turnaround that leaves about 8 hours for flying. So unless you do an awful lot of DME, IST, LED, ATH, and LCA there and backs then you don't frequently do 11hr+ without a break. Given the frequency that we fly to those destinations compared to AMS, CDG, BRU, DUS, etc etc, all of which involve either a nightstop or rotation through LHR and by definition a break, I'd say your statement was wholly innaccurate.
i can add up the hours on my roster ,and now ive fully accounted for my hours
So tell us, how many hours on duty this month and how many hours actually flying. Let us know how many sectors that involves and we can calculate how much working as opposed to wasting your doing!
You probably dont like it because you are now working the way we always have
Oh thats the best one yet! When I can have 2 hours off between flights, sit about in Compass all day wasting time, have a 2 sector 3 day HEL trip, get 18 hours off downroute as a right because I spent more than 12 hours at work, get £35 for reducing my turnaround time, get to walk ff an aircraft because its a minute beyond my industrial agreement, then I'll be ''working' like you always have.
