Devil Hi Brian

Hey Tango Uniform hate to let the truth get in the way of a good story ...

Your spreading some Porky Pies with this little quote....
Fatigue? What a joke. Again, I don't know what everyone is complaining about. 900 hours a year, that averages 75 hours a month. I have never felt so rested flying for an airline. Leave-42 days a year. Whether you get all 42 days is another question.
Fatigue on the Airbus fleet is a FACT

Pilots having Days and weeks off sactioned by the EK clinic FACT Why dont you Operate the sector DXB-SYD-CHC-SYD-DXB or DXB-MEL-AKL -MEL-DXB as Crew B and you will be extremely tired when you get back to Dubai FACT Then chuck in some short haul night flights the best one is the 4 sector DXB-Doha-DXB-Doha-DXB ( and yes we do manage to change aircraft as well...)

To make a statement as broad as
Fatigue? What a joke
may apply to your roster however the FACTS are that EK does have Rostering Issues which have resulted for the first time here in EK guys being given a couple of weeks off by the Medical Drs FACT

You sure you are not Brians Twin Brother by any chance...
