Viru$, you do no one any favours working days off for pittance. You think it helps your cause. You will only get something back if you can be spared and the situation now is so desperate they have nothing to spare. They are now so short of crew that our phones go off every days off. Crewing have an awful job to do and the situation is not their fault, meanwhile the bosses above think everything is hunky dorey and add the manpower savings to the better side of their budget thus adding to their performance bonus. The situation will never improve if pilots work days off. We need more crews and more upgrades.
