This will require one less pilot on our ULH network, which will reduce our operating cost and increase My Bonus.
Actually it won't.

3 Pilots will each be paid a credit factor of 1.14. This will put MORE crews into overtime,according to the DFO, 43mil has been paid in the past,that figure will most likely double!

LONGER lay-overs means MORE allowances and SUPERIOR hotels, if the euro gets stronger still, hear management cry..

As mentioned already, imagine the nightmare of having ALL 3 crew members on different time zones, one goes sick at an outport, pax in hotels for the night, newspaper headlines: "CX flight delayed by 15 hours due to lack of available pilots!"

With all the above and NO commanders discretion, possible diversions etc, let's see your precious little "bonus" being used for all those court cases after the 1st FATIGUE RELATED ACCIDENT
