Just completed 74 hrs in 15 days...west ULR, few days off, far east, few days off, west ULR again. Rediculous now, but even worse when one of those will turn to 3 pilots next month.
This 3 pilot JFK rubbish never worked last time; it won't work this time either. Absolute desperation now given the poor forward planning for pilot numbers this year. (this shortage was forecast by recruiting months ago..but the bean counters further up the foodchain decided they..meaning us..could handle it).
Now it's not money, it's purely a shortage caused by numbers leaving, and a delayed management response to expansion.
