EASY PILOTS DO NOT WORK 5 ON 3 OFF!!!!
We work 6 on 3 off and frequently that becomes 7 on 2 off with the use of a 'flexiday' affecting early starts or late finishes on the first or last of the three days ' off '.
The company want to take away the 6 on 3 off ' because it is not flexible enough'. Which means that 7 on 2 off will become the norm.
In spite of this the Easy pilots fly nowhere near the 900 hrs limit because we are rostered so inefficiently. So duty hours are way up but flying hours are not (in general).
Most pilots like pilots anywhere are happy to work longer more productive days but ONLY if we are given more days off in return.
Apparently that's much too tricky!
