In what other industry would people make such a fuss about being contacted by their employers? And why the faintly disguised aggression? Not exactly professional behaviour.
Mikehotel152, Whilst I agree with your comments about being contacted on a day off are you suggesting that complying with the provisions of a Flight Time Limitation Scheme is unprofessional then?
The FTLs are there to prevent excessive fatigue - with many (one could argue most) companies rostering their crews to the maximum legal limits it is even more important than ever that both crews and Companies adhere to the constraints of their FTL system as well as the spirit of the law.
Like any relationship it helps if there is, at times, a little "give and take" but it rarely seems to be that the Company gives anything.
