Yes CAYNINE they are really pushing us. We are working too hard and something has to give.
As such, we need to concentrate on real problems, not invent bogus ones.
If we are seen as simply knee-jerk bitching about everything rather than identifying real problems, it is very easy to write us off as nothing but a group of whinging pilots.
I'll edit my previous post but, seriously, anyone who has been in the industry for a while should recognise this as simple, normal airline planning.
