Spot on, pool!
And there are "airlines", in India, for example, that roster you on a 6 days ON/6 sectors ops, and then give you ONE day OFF!
And then do it again, and again........... what about that?
With ever more effective bean-counters squizzing last drops of our life juice left, pilots are nowadays pushed to work longer hours then cashier at the drugstore, or truck drivers in europe, for that matter....... I wonder what would the travelling public say, if they know the truth?
In those countries where "economies are on the rise" as they like to percieve, coupled with total disrespect for bacis workers rights (and no-one to defend you), pushing pilots to work BEYOND the phisiological limits of our bodies is the norm.....
And yes, we are left ourselves to deal with the problem!
LAst but not least, the guys in the boardroom don't give a
of positively certain long term health impact on pilot population being abused in such a manner!
Time to wake up
