What REALLY annoys me, (as mentioned earlier in the thread), are the problems concerning FTL. Unfortunately for us, this is calculated approx. one hour from 'chocks off' and does NOT take into consideration the time it takes an individual to return home.
If our car parks become satelite ones, God knows how long it will take some people to get home; currently, the buses only run every 12 - 15 minutes or so - are they planning to stick to this system if we move? or will buses run every 5 minutes? Even if they do, it will still add hours to the average day.
Crew on minimum rest could easily find themselves knackered; safety WILL be compromised - but who will get the blame?
My suggestion, should this idiotic idea go ahead, is an increase to minimum hours rest for crew. After all, would YOU like to be a passenger on an aircraft whose crew are likely to make errors of judgement, (or even fall asleep!), simply because they all have to endure extra time put onto an already demanding day?
Think on, Manchester.....
