Eklawyer, I have to agree. Wouldn't it be nice to know why crews are getting airborne in Mel
on a 15 hour flight with 98 hours in the last 28 days?
Why we are being consistently reassured by manglement that this cannot be tiring due to
the isolated studies they have funded blindly ignoring the flights that have gone before to
make up those 98 hours?
Why have maximum monthly hours been made a target and not a limit?
Factor in all other restrictions and changes in the company with low morale resulting, and
I submit that they are showing a firm grip on the inconsequential.

I am all in favour of safety aids, but maybe the crew should not be overlooked as a resource.
Driving them into the ground, regardless of how many safety aids are installed, is not going
To work.
