FFRATS
I've done 2 pilot/4 sector days, 3 pilot/2 sector days and 4 pilot/1 sector days (some 2)
I've been fatigued on all combinations but I can tell you only one usually needs a whole day to recover after...4 Crew ULH.
As have I. I've noticed no difference in how crap I feel after DFW- SYD compared to LHR- DXB, PER- BNE, CGK- SYD, MNL- SYD. .... all 2 man crew sectors. In fact returning home on some DXB- SYD and LAX- SYD trips I've relatively easily pushed on all day off the back of a decent kip in the bunk on last break. I was never able to achieve that on the 767 doing two man back of the clock.
All this is somewhat irrelevant to the deal in front of us though. It's either a reasonable package or it's not. Given the pay/ lifestyle I did on the 767 and the proposed 787 pay/ lifestyle, I reckon this deal is reasonable.
