Oh, and another thing....harping back to that other thread that turned into one almighty slagging-off session....when pilots join an airline do they not realise that their roster is subject to disruption? Every airline faces problems during the day and therefore plans have to change, and consequently so do the crew's roster. Its a fact of life. I do appreciate that its not much fun having your life run by rostering and crewing, but they choose to do the job. Are they told about the life of a crew member before they sign on the dotted line? Or are they just sold on the life of glamour?
