Do you guys remember several months back,when the fog caused massive disruptions.
TC, Lord of the Ivory Tower's reaction was to force all pilots to carry (without right to vary!) 20 tons or more additional fuel , offloading freight and passengers as a knee jerk reaction to the disruption caused by the diversions.
Makes their new policy a drop in the ocean, for savings! Very hard to take these people seriously!
Can't wait to see how they try to recover the aircraft next time the aircraft are parked all over the middle east, after scre*ing the pilot group as they have!
No doubt many of our collegues will find it impossible to say no but think they'll still have a more difficult time recovering the schedule!!
