Will agree wholeheartedly Barking, here in our neck o' the woods, the brand new FAR117 rules take effect in January to address such issues, but, as is the corporate game, lots of pencil sharpening in progress to devise crafty ways around that silly, and ultimately very expensive, bottom-line compromising need for proper crew rest.
That is what happens when you sell tickets from New York to San Francisco for $99. Six hour sector, gotta recoup those costs somewhere.
Still some very gentle folk flying our cabins, but all manner of cringingly entitled 99-dollar yobbos aboard as well to make our collective lives a living, flying hell.
Cap doffed, to the all the cabin crews out there, who willingly put up with this insanity on a daily basis. Anyone wanna hear about last week?
