Or maybe a week off after doing 6 days of 11 hours duty after one day off and 5 days starting at 4am of 9 hours duty before that. Instead of two days off and then the same again. Or one day off if they have already gone to EU FTLS. Flying 4-6 sectors a day.

I know it might sound moany and windging but surely ATIS should be for what the pilot actually needs not what someone wants us to have so it covers thier backside.

The QNH thing personally doesn`t bother me but it would make an interesting experiment to see how many changes and by how much between frequency before pilots started quering it. Sometimes it gets given a read back so often it just goes in your ear and out your mouth especially when you have 1013 set. Until we are cleared down to an alt it doesn`t really have any real relevence to our operation in controlled airspace.
