I see on the other thread that there is a discussion over rostered hours and the split between flying and duty hours. One of the first contributors mentioned that they had been rostered for 143 hours in January. There is some confusion as to whether these were duty or flying hours. Apparently if they were the latter it would be illegal. If that is the case we must assume that they are duty hours, This has been described as "busy" but not impossible. Therefore as it seems to equate to a 35 hour week for duty hours, are we now asked to consider a 35 hour week onerous? I speak as one who has endured 60 hour (5 x 12hours) weeks on alternate days and nights in a factory. That I do regard as onerous.
