I have nothing against your decision or your motives but due diligence is borne on you pal.

"Is this like you get what you deserve?"
You show me where it is better QFCSM in your back yard, sound pretty crappy with NYC trips rtn, HNL maybe going to jetstar and well dropping legs off FRA trips and Lhr trips. As a csm and with the company a while too i have see many things with shorthaul and longhaul that sometimes wonder why? As for the rules know them well, taught them for many years! So actually thanks for enlighting me on them.
With that comment above your probablly one of those people that like to treat your fellow crew like rubbish on change over or try to make it difficult for us??? I took it cause needed to get out of the negative work place that was always at LH...and to see europe!!! grin! It is hard work back to back 14hr trips but they good outways the negative!
Now with below your are so right with that one matey, another is looking at what we need in crew rest more hanging space??? Fatigue is a major thing with Airlines. there was a program on in london undercover on Ryanair crew sleeping on take off... suppose after multi sectors cleaning planes and all they do know wonder they fall asleep!!! Thats why it is great to see in the UK that these rules are in place for crew and rest periods after a long haul flight 48 hrs!!! (BA / VIRGIN)
Maybe the FAAA could spend a little time and money on those type of worthwhile projects rather than other lost causes (eg LAX accom)
- bet that gets a comment!
