Most of ours are 25 minute turnarounds,but on a 6 sector day i think it would be a bit of a pi55 take not to give a longer turnaround at some point in the day.
I dont mind being called off standby,i know its part of the job.but its things like when you try and help them out and offer a solution to a problem,and they really dont care what you have to say.Its frustrating then that if there is a problem,sometimes crew are left to deal with it.for example positioning home and flights are overbooked AND weight restricted so you cant get on the flight, even though you've told them its overbooked,and offered to go on a flight to a different base and then road transport back to base.or when youre trying to check in for a positioning flight,and theres no booking,you call up and tell them,wait 15 minutes and nothing is done about it so you have to call up again.ground staff in outstations cant do the booking,so crewing KNOW it needs to be done and i know from previous experience of booking positioning tickets for crew myself,that it takes two minutes.
I think it is going to be a difficult summer and there is going to be a lot of disruption.But all we can do is go to work,and do our best for the fare paying customers onboard our aircraft and give them a good flight.
