Hey Betty, I'm on your side! I don't think it is sustainable in the future as I said. We have had many people apply to MF from our company, some successful, some not. However the reason they are interested is that the money, conditions and perceived job security is better than they have now. Only time will tell.
By the way have you heard of level 2 dispensation from the CAA? From my manual in front of me,this allows the company to add another 30 to max flight duty time. Also duty period finishes at chocks on time, so 1 hour must always be added to duty period. Therefore max duty period can be 16 hours 30 minutes before any positioning.
