An excellent Thread with many points raised and questions asked all of which go unanswered by SC and her HR chums (and others). My question concerns any new national FTL . The rumoured 4,3,4,3 - 9 hour rota, if it is approved, leaves my pilots looking at an extra 23 shifts a year which won't be mitigated due to the reduction in hours on shift from 10 to 9. I can't see that going down too well...
