Said documentary added nothing to the debate and was so vacuous it was difficult to watch. But I'll give you one example, pilots maximum regulated hours being used not as a maximum but a target. You don't run your car at red line all year why do airlines do it with their crew? Well I think we all know the answer to that.

Wizz Air even included this practice in their IPO Brochure, boasting of how high an extent crew were utilised as a percentage of their maximum flight hours. In this poster's opinion this is nothing to be boasting about, just screams cowboy operation all over.
