Do RAF pilots need less rest than airline crews, if so could some one tell me why?
AT crews on the Herrick are flying a regular roster/rest pattern that would not be allowable in a civilian operation. Their own medical people have said that in a recent report that the operation does not provide adequate rest after dificult operational consecutive night sectors.
It seems a macho thing amongst some on PPrune that service crews are different, although flying RAF 'airliners' in mainly civil airspace.
Just because you are in the Services does not mean you have to live in a tent in the desert when proper facilites are available elsewhere.
