Common Sense
I guess the seasonal headwinds are what AS is alluding to when he pasted a copy of the ATW article on common sense on the portal.
Common sense tells me not to go into discretion when I am making small errors before departure, especially data entry.
Common sense tells me to bump up the CI to 140 instead of leaving it at 10 (AS directive to dispatch not to increase it for FDP "dont worry, they will go into discretion).
Common sense tells me not all ASR's are making it past somebody's desk to the GCAA.
Common sense also tells me that if a CC needs a rest because they have to go into discretion, they will be allowed to rest in the flightdeck. I dare anyone to tell me to my face I cant do that.
Common sense also tells me holding in DXB at 2345 is forseen and 6 mins of cont fuel with alt fuel wont cut it when holding for 30mins.
AS, you really should earn your stripes and some respect here and do some line flying for a few months. It not like the old company chap.
