Many posts here from individual pilots who say more or less the same thing, collectively...IE, long duty rostered periods, crew fatigue, overworked (and sometimes underpaid), and while many of these complaints taken individually, a few might have merit, I would suspect that the vast majority are, shall we say, ah....BS.
Lets face facts here, folks.
Those who actually joined an aircarrier as a FD crew member asked for WORK when they first entered the human resourses front door, and now that they have found it, some (but certainly not all) constantly complain.
Well, there is a simple remedy for these folks, who apparently are bored to death of the routine...find another job, move aside, and let the next guy in line have a go at the position.
There seem to be no end to the number that want to do so, so why not accomodate these folks...who knows, perhaps the numbers of complaints will drop to lower levels.
Harry Truman said it best, IMO....'can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.'
