----trying to shaft 2 F/O's that arrived on the morning of the delayed departure to operate back out again that night - a bare minimum 12 hours after touching down on arrival from SYD/MEL.
Why, pray tell, is that shafting anybody, if it is within the FTLs ??? ---- being turned around with minimum rest is all part of the game, it doesn't happen very often, but it does happen.
No airline can afford to have "formal" standby crews down the line, in this day and age.
Don't anybody forget, it is a criminal offense of strict liability to operate when unwell. Its happened to to me, both going sick at short notice down line ( food poisoning) and being turned around with min. rest.
Tootle pip!!
