KN, bollocks to EASA, Crewing and my boss. If I'm not well rested I won't be going to work and I couldn't care less if the 'experts' say I can operate safely after 7.5 hours "rest".
Up yours EASA, you bunch of bureacratic nincompoops.
1. "Hello Crewing, I do not feel well rested, I am refusing to check in on the grounds of flight safety. Goodbye."
2. "Hello Crewing, I do not feel well rested, instead of a hire car I am requesting a taxi as is my right. This will cost you circa £200 instead of the £40 it would have cost if I felt rested enough to drive myself. Goodbye."
3. "Hello Crewing, none of my crew are going to operate in to discretion as they did not have enough rest. Please arrange appropriate accommodation for us and our 250 passengers. Goodbye."
Etc., etc..
