I agree with others sentiments; good on you to be upfront and try to get the facts rather than 'invent' them as many of your peers have done in the interests of sensationalism.
I would however respectfully correct the misconception that long duty hours is related to pay and therefore, by implication, increasing pay would resolve a 'fatigue issue'.
The two are not related, far from it. In fact, most in the low cost sector get paid very well, by comparison. Pay is not the core issue with the EJ pilots, nor is it the core issue with those protesting about EU FTLs. It is important that you understand this.
