ys120fz,
You show a concerning lack of understanding all things aviation...
Do you think corporate management personnel actually understand what FATIGUE (either ACUTE or CHRONIC) can do to a pilot's ability in the cockpit....Stop for a minute and think....why do successful and 'safe' airlines have established rostering/scheduling rules. They are in place to prohibit the 'system' from forcing pilots to work themselves into the ground. Remember International Operations are completely different to Domestic. These scheduling rules are in place because since the Wright Brothers people have learnt these lessons the hard way, that is with their LIVES....many accidents can be attributed to FATIGUE...
This is one of the problems now facing the aviation industry, especially LCC. Efficient verses Safe operations. A very very good reason to have
operational experience within any Flight Operations department and for that matter, the corporate management level.
If the JPC have pushed this EBA through not understanding the possibilities this presents....they are
IGNORANT. If however, they pushed this deal through, with the knowledge they should have....they are
NEGLIGENT. Most impotantly, it is the responsibility of the
Senior Pilots within any organisation (Airline or GA operation) to stand up for what is safe and fair...they MUST educate and guide their managers on what is safe and sustainable...it is their DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY...
I just hope, for the sake of all JETSTAR International pilots that AIPA can stop this deal dead in the water!
