Talking

Hey, if you want to talk about fatigue, then consider us at BA CitiExpress. Four sector days???? I'd love it, we are often on five or six, day in and day out, with nightstops and minimum rest thrown in! I know this isn't the thread story, so apologies for changing it a bit. And yes, I know we could vote with our feet - believe me a lot of us are doing just that. We actually had a situation at one stage where a doctor contacted both CAA and Company to complain he didn't approve the fact that so many pilots were seeing him about stress and fatigue. The rosters did change for a short while after that.

Things getting better - well, we're recruiting. Nope, not pilots, just more rostering staff to assist in spreading the butter more thinly! (And we need them. We recently had a trainee, not signed off for FLC, pitch up to go flying with an ordinary Line Captain.
