<<don't seem prepared to work longer hours than currently allowed >>
Please note, we are NOT talking of Union agreed "Industrial Limits", or of demanding our beauty sleep!
We are talking of the LEGAL limits, limits derived by long experience back to the Bader "enquiry", set up after a number of fatal accidents due to fatigue.
This is just typical 2 faced government that sets "safe rules" (aren't we a good caring Govt?) until its their turn to pay the bill, when suddenly all the safe limits no longer apply, and we can fly the servicemen home in what was the week before an illegally tired state. And where there is a perfectly safe and practiced alternative - heavy crewing...
