I've always thought that every crew member should spend a few shifts in crew scheduling/Ops as well
DrPat - Why??? What would that actually accomplish? Are you serious or are you on something? Crewing sits there and don't have to directly answer to anyone regarding the ultimate safety of the fare paying passengers. The rules are made to keep you legal; not alive. Legal does not necessarily means safe, especially in this industry. Let's be real here and stop behaving like little girls playing tit for tat games. Maybe if some of us grew up and dropped the egos this entire industry would not be so full of idiots who play with peoples' lives. I can go on forever but it would'nt accomplish anything -will it?
