Stand up for your rights!
This nonsense of "the schedule is sound, you cannot possibly be fatigued, the schedule complied with Subpart Q" is starting to scare me. As if we are alert and fully capable of handling situations whereever we find ourselves in the permitted operational span of Subpart Q.
Whenever a pilot in Europe has the opportunity to go on strike motivated by the FTL's, he/she should, the message has to be driven through. FTL's are limitations and not goals. For a schedule to be laid down according to Subpart Q, a fatigue monitoring programme has to be established for it to be safe. The public needs to be enlightened.
Have a look at this, an excellent and easy to understand summary. Show all your friends:
Good luck everyone in FlyBe and elsewhere fighting this fight. We need to be united, not only within our airlines but across aswell! Head down and go for it!
