Should have said if your not in a european national carrier.Those in charter and low cost will join in a race to the bottom as boards of directors will want to know why their pilots are not working the same number of hours as their competitors ie Ryanair.If they can legally fly a thousand hours plus a year,up to seven early starts in a row,extending night ftl etc then fly them to it.
The scheduling agreements will be eroded usually by an increase in a pay award above inflation or a fleet change,sign here to fly the big jet.They will say they need the changes to remain profitable and in my view safety will be compromised.This is a step backwards.
