K34,
900hrs a year under Fatigue Management? There are no set limits, just a fatigue score... this is the biggest industrial change in the industry so far. We got the pay reductions through BYO training, now work harder for the same money.
Greedy companies have effectively sown up a 30% productivity increase, and paid a 10% rise for it... we pilots (at least half of) are really not very good at math. Obviously so few
VB pilots have not seen this system in operation.
No more 9+ hrs rest on an overnight... when things run late it will just come out of your rest period. No more bust the 12 hour duty by 2 mins and get the next day off.
We are now effectively truck drivers, might as well go out and get myself some more blue bonds singlets.
Fatigue management = Never manage to get so fatigued.
