Warlock,

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack anything but wanted to try to explain to some of these mates that as the T&Cs spiral lower there comes a point where you have to draw a line in the sand. I think we are there and solving it will directly effect the levels of fatigue.

As you know, the reason you and I are tired is because we don't have enough crew. Now some of that is by design with the new credit system which means it is much cheaper to work us hard than to get another pilot. Problem is they screwed the pooch because they didn't anticipate that the guys here would tell their mates not to bother fronting up because it just isn't worth it anymore.

To get more pilots of the standard they currently require they need to pay more spondoolies. More pilots = less fatigue a very simple equation!
