NC, its about flight safety and fatigue issues. Maybe in my difficult read you could not see it.
As with most pilots at CX, it’s all about ME. I’m all right Jack.
If the pilots can work themselves silly and then get time off to commute to OZ, Europe or NA then I guess safety has nothing to do with it.
Those guys work themselves silly now to get time off but in the next year or so that will not be the case. They will still be worked silly by the way. The aircraft have to be crewed and reserve needs to be flexible. These two issues alone are big safety issues. Those are the facts.
Do we have any fatigue protection in RP 07? If your answer is no, then don’t vote for it.
If the company cannot be flexible in rostering and their reserve, it is a huge cost item. Why did Cx want it out? They don’t what 5-4-3 or the FDP to start on any reserve. It will cost them. So Yes there is a big cost and productivity for the company in RP07. I’m not an accountant but it is not that hard to see.
As long as you are able to bid for those long jokers it must be a good deal. For next couple of months anyway. I'm alright.
