Have to agree with Pigsfly, saw the programme and as an ex-employee of EI had some backround knowledge of the topic so wasnt looking at it with a complete lack of the basics.
As MOL often does he comes across very well as the hard pressed, oppressed by the miltant natsy unions manager trying to do his best with a disgruntled ungrateful overpaid underworked pilots group.
The facts are very different and I think Evan Cullen missed many opportunities to hammer him not least to kill off the 18 hrs per week claim. That may be the average permitted over a year but if this is the case why do FR pilots regularly run out of hours before a year is up. Similarly why didnt EC mention the progressive nature of fatigue that builds working in a pressured environment.
I am far from a supporter of FR and their practices but on balance think MOL won the battle for the hearts and minds of Joe Public. My opinion - not fact..!!
