different air force
fomere2eternity i must have been in a different air force to you! the longest shift i ever did was 15 hours. though when i was on the harrier force i slept in the ops wagon and often got woken in the wee small hours, but 36 hours on duty, bit excessive wouldnt u say? and as for 12 hours without a break well whos faults that? i dont think stelios expects u to die for him so take breaks, if people get annoyed with you for doing do well tell them why. why do airlines have this mania for 12 hour shifts?
