777-200LR,

-Sign on & off times.

-Published Block Times vs Real Block Times.

-Productivity. (You know: when you get 14 days AL and still work 70hrs for NO productivity.)

-Zero Credit for training days. (You know: when you do your PPC (3 days) and CRM or SEPs in the same month and still fly 84hrs for NO productivity.)

They are just 4 from a list that is about quadruple. But here's the biggest thing stolen from me: the ability to function and be 'present' when at home with my family. That is gone. Every pilot and cabin crew member (& engineer too I guess) in this place - whether they realise it or not - is fatigued and living in a state of constant malaise. 'Being tired' has a whole new definition. People can deny it all they want when they try to justify their Command or flying a 330/777/380. It's a simple fact: nobody here functions anywhere near like a person should, and is entitled to.

So on a daily basis my employer is stealing my Quality of Life. The first 4 things I listed are disgraceful. The last is unforgivable. Hence why I and many others are leaving.
