Dear cj
You seem to have misunderstood my comments-
You do a very demanding job. And it was no different when I did it. I had snotty captains bauling down the phone at me for calling them on days off....Had cabin crew tell me to foxtrot oscar when I had to call them out at 0430 in the morning...I can remember ATC Problems so severe that we cancelled the rosters and told everyone to come back in when they were in hours to go somewhere? I've dealt with mixed fleets
too. One firm I worked for had 6 different fleets. I've had to stand in front of a Commercial Manager and tell him that we can't crew a series of flights...Ive been there over and over......I chose to change my direction and all I am saying is that aircrew life is not as easy as many people think..... In most aspects,it is a very demanding and unforgiving profession.
