Thats obviously the impression that has been conveyed, which unfortunately is wide of the mark.
As your bone of contention obviously stems from how I have read the posting do you not think that those in Ops & Crewing actually know how difficult your job is! Do we need it pointed out to use in a patronising manner, I think not.
I to have experienced life from a flying view-point in the loadmaster trips I have done. Yes not flying the aircraft, but just as long, if not longer duty, with the R&R at the end!!
I still hold my original view-point rostering committees are a fine idea, especially on paper, just never seem to work in practise. Unless the pilots that form the committee have a good all-round grasp of CAP371 and not we only want, want is there any point in having the committee in the first place.
Jetlag, does your company have a rostering committee?
