I'm afraid to say it's all true re. the above! We are literally working to the bare minimum rest. Luckily I don't have a Nairobi on my roster, but I do know of others who have it like you mentioned Betty. We can only hope that crew are feeding back there rosters to their managers to look at because, as you say, this kind of rostering really can't go on long term. I have 143 hours rostered in January, so I am very concerned about reaching 900 hours pretty quickly!!!! I love being on Mixed Fleet, but something does need to be done about the rostering as i know a lot of crew are pretty unhappy with it.
This is Welshboy1982's post on the other cabin crew thread. Now you may think is DH revisited again, which is a common conclusion of this site, to any questioning of the employer in question, but it would have been the longest plant ever, if you review the posting history.
Now looking from the sidelines, you would have to be a tad naive not to think that the these conditions of work could be the end result of the current management teams plans. Maybe that is why the dispute is still ongoing. It would appear that the employer has answered the questions of the employees for its long term aims, by making the conditions of this new operation so bad.
