Fatigue management policy until theres an AOG.
The policy was "16 hours" and then M had to approve. Did M Know???
EBC fuel manifold change. Guys from Sydney engine (SEM) did 22 hours plus to get the a/c serviceable. 0700 am start Syd fly to a/c and still going the next morning @0700.
Guys flying from Cairns to help in Bne. Fly down in the arvo work in the bne hangar then fly back after a night shift. 18 hours o/t.
Guys flying to LA for an engine change. same story bust hump, work more than 16 hours and get the a/c serviceable only to have F/a's with some real backbone tell the company that they would not extend. a/c delayed anyway.
Tell me one thing if you deliberately break policy then haven't you broken a cardinal rule.
Typical QF management. "Safety until there's a schedule."
