“even eating at the controls, with no break for more than 12 hours.”
You mean like on these patterns described by Hellenic - HKG-SIN-BKK-HKG?
Holy crap, how many ECAMS/EICAS situations are guys dealing with in the cruise on a 2-hour sector that you cant pull out a Sports Illustrated and munch on fine CX catering?
“Zapatas Blood, cx is not a low cost carrier. Given your description of an "East Coast day" perhaps your's is.”
Was? Nope, used to fly for a full service rinky dink legacy outfit. Sorry to burst your bubble on that one.
“At present our conditions (both policy and contractual) are under attack.”
Really. And you don’t think that applies to nearly EVERY other airline pilot on the planet, most of whom are not paid the sort of dough you guys are to start with?
“Perhaps you could ask yourself how you would deal with a HKG JFK HKG)”
I would imagine it would be awful. But that’s not what was referred to by the opening post of this thread. It started with some schmuck bleating about how tiring a 6 hour 3 sector day would be.
Get a life you soft CX drivers. Don’t make me laugh.
