Thanks
Thanks SD for your honest replies. I have no desire whatsoever to propogate untruths but it does concern me the culture in which this company seems to operate and I think it's essential that all of us as professional pilots push back against the worst excesses of cost cutting in any company where we perceive it is a threat to safety.
At the end of the day we are the last link in the chain to prevent disaster and I sometimes feel that the bean counters in their ivory towers have a tendency to forget how important it is that we are well rested and well cared for if we are to perform to our best irrespective of what company we fly for. It seems strange that the rules around working hours etc are less restrictive in airlines than they are in freight haulage companies and railways...
