Not sure how MH152 can take issue with PAPI's fairly reasoned description of his travel woes. Unfortunately, like a lot of my colleagues in FR, MH seems to be very comfortable in his Ryanair blinkers
@adolf
I didn't and I have never said pax have a barrel of laughs on FR flights. Never was
cattle class a more apt description. If you read my post again you willl see that I sympathised but said that young children rarely get separated from their parents
in my experience.
Moreover, if you read my posts on pprune and elsewhere you will see that I am not comfortable at FR. I'm doing my job to a good standard of professionalisn and have no shame in admitting that I enjoy certain aspects of it,
however I fully understand the reasons for the 'exodus'.
As for the hours issue, it is very rare that I fly a full week of earlies and that is in the context of a maximum hours per month of 80 over the last year. I am doing more hours this 'summer' but my max of 90 per month so far includes a standby every week. It's tiring, but Captains flying a full roster do have a
much harder and more tiring time.
