As with most other posts here we get priority if they want you somewhere in a hurry or will bust min. rest before the next duty; if not we get chucked to the bottom of the pile.

Now, as DirOps, that is my job.
Our crew are treated well in this regard, make NO mistake."


Since the beancounters have taken over in the last 10 years or so, it's refreshing to see there might still be a Flt Ops Director / DFO or two out there who understands their remit to include a degree of care for their crews' welfare once in a while. The smart ones realise that in the long term you'll get a damn sight more out of your workforce if you don't continually try to devise new ways of shoving the bat up the @rse of your employees.

- Sadly it seems most Dir.Ops. these days are a bunch of yes-men eager to hang onto their positions rather than stand up to the bunch of chinless wonders in the office upstairs.
