Pilot shortage to come
They've broken this camel's back, too! I'm about to join the growing list of pilots who are actively looking to leave due to lack of trust in management or PBS with these deteriorating rosters for the past 18 months. The roller coaster of day to nights is simply unbearable, and the ridiculous amount of 40min out and back only days is meant only to keep you trapped in dxb - what happened to all the talk of more days off and min 6hr flight days? The rostering is actually now getting dangerous IMO.
I've paid my dues and will soon be completely free of the bond. I know of several captains who are saying exactly the same thing. I think this could be an unexpected hit to FD that will make life very hard for remaining captains if all of these guys start resigning in large numbers. It WILL happen if PBS does not perform miracles from October.
