EKLAWYER fact is the company still are rostering guys for simm support. Flew with 2 First officers over the past 2 weeks who were not happy little chappies having
done the 100 % productivity thing with the company, gone over 900 hrs been rosterd the following month off then doing simm support.
Do not expect
any back up from the guys in our Flight Safety when this topic is brought to there attention as the response will be
"we try not to roster you for simm support..."
Spinless back up.
The whole purpose when we have gone over the 900 hrs is to give you a month off so you
rest and recover not to prop up simm support sessions.
Problem is that it is usually the F.O.s and they dont have the support of the company so unless they have big brass ones the practise will continue despite what has been written on the Pothole.
The Medical Department will support you with days off when others dont.
