Thanks for the info NG Girl! I will definately NOT be voting yes for something that makes me work more for the same money! You also made a great point that once the rules are there we are stuck with them even if the PBS turns out to be dud (alla Sabre) - then what do we do?

Surely they must realise we are sick all the time with 4 sector/9:45 days - I cannot see how anything over 10 hours is not going to KILL us!! Maybe if we didn't have to clean/cater on turn arounds we may be less tired. Are they asking anyone else in the company besides Pilots/CC to work 14 hour days? I don't think so..

What about the second sector after the red-eye? Any mention of that nasty piece of work? Surely a fatigue mangement can't allow that horror?!

I guess the bottom line is we gotta let them know how we feel and keep ourselves informed as NG Girl said! It all gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
