Quote: For info 330/340 guys are regularly doing over 80hrs & it's not 48hr night stops. We seem to do doing all the Pakistan night trips, double RUH, double DXB & most in fact are being "utilised to the limit" otherwise how else would we be sitting on 900hrs?
"They reap what they sow...." lost me there?

80 hrs on big bus is easy. Throw in 2 MNL, 1 BKK, 2 LHR, couples of doubles GCC and your line is set. I don't mind and I'm sure CCQ guys don't mind doing 24 hr night stops at these places instead of 1-2 330 flights per month.
You should try doing 80 hrs on small bus, and you would see what is "fair".
The point is, if dinosaurs want to do nice EU night stops, why don't they do 330/320 CCQ. That would be "fair" don't you think, Meph?
