3 man to Europe
AT has been in her position for a few months now, it would appear that the honeymoon is well and truly over . They have revealed their true intent and want 3 man to FRA and LHR on SELECTED flights only
That will be the beginning . As sure as the sun rises in the east they will be back for more in a few short months , or there will be an amendment to RP granting them the freedom to make any European flight 3 man due to unforeseen circumstances.
This is the problem when you have a DFO who has never flown an aircraft , goes to bed every night at a regular time , gets a good nights sleep and works during the day . She has absolutely no concept of the effects of accumulative sometimes crippling fatigue that we live with month after month .
To the best of my knowledge , I don't think she has ever tried to understand rostering patterns and the fatigue they generate .
So here is a challenge . Pick a three week period , You sit in the J/S on every flight you take . You may sleep when the relief FO has their rest period ,all other times you are to be awake and working. Flights are to be conducted on East and West ULH Patterns and in that 3 weeks you are to complete a minimum of 90 hours
Then let's see how tired you become and how fatigue affects your judgement bearing in mind that this is only for 3 weeks not years
Then we can resume negotiations on RP
