The other major problem with the swaps being turned down is that the majority of us are doing 95 + hours for the month. Any swap where you have a net increase in flying will be turned down. Plus the fact that we have minimum days off we exceed our rest days.
We are continually been told about OUR BMI, how about EKs BMI. We virtually have not fat available in the system and everyone is working max hours.
I have resigned to the fact that asking for any swaps will be turned down.
Keep discovering!
