It surprises me that it takes 4 pilots to aviate a 744 passenger aircraft to HKG form LHR for an 11 hr flight. Yet, it only takes 2 pilots to fly the same companys aircraft, be it a freighter 744, on a 2 sector LHR-CDG-DEL 13 Hr duty! Oh and for 20% less pay.
You get what you sign for when you take the job.

I personally believe we should all be on the same conditions & salary.

I don't however feel sorry for a bloke who accepted current Freighter conditions & then complains afterwards.
