Well by reckoning the increase from 78 to 92 hours in 31 days is a 15.2% increase. While you can argue that it is not a 15% pay cut the reality is that along with the reduced days off the new target for rostering will be 92 hours.
So as well as getting less pay, days off, less chances to do a swap, your fatigue levels are about to go through the roof.
What really frustrates me is how AS, ED and AAH trot out this juvenile simplistic spin on everything, mixed in with a large dose bit of blame shifting.
I mean trying to say that this will save jobs, when they plan to recruit 170 pilots next year is a bit rich to say the least.
So message to our dear management, please stop treating us like IDIOTS, we are quite used to BOHICA, just don't try and convince us that it is something else with your puerile spin
