I agree with Firestorm; but further fear that 'Joe Public' cares little about the terms under which the grinning F/O appears. Safetly after all is the responsibility of the SRG. All companies are audited to this end.
I expect most of the 'GBP' are pleased to enjoy greatly subsidized air travel courtesy of our desperate little FATPL. How could you deny Rupert his rightful trip to the 'flightdeck' (via 'Wensums')?
P2F is absolutely here to stay. No hours means no job. "Rupert worked very hard at Oxford" - best Daddy gets his cheque book out.
