Of course, JB007, DHL are a night freight operator and may represent issues outside this thread. Good to hear that they have adopted the FODCOM though and I hope this speaks of a good roster culture for their pilots.
PPRUNE is so very popular because it allows pilots to speak out on issues where their contracts (and the general employment culture of the industry) would sanction them. Doctors, our professional cousins, have an easier time of it whereas Airline pilots, being owned by heads of industry are fully gagged. The point being that, if we want better rosters and safety regulation we should use PPRUNE, with its practice of invisibility and integrity, to lobby our interests.

JAR just might make working conditions a lot worse. I reckon we will go the way of train drivers if the heads of industry get their way.
