As a 17+ year retiree, I am utterly amazed that aircrew can be required to position on days off. Thank goodness my airline AirUK treated people better than that. I have enjoyed these past 17 years. I doubt that many current pilots suffering under such regimes (in effect, working on “days-off”) can look forward to such a pleasant retirement – many won’t live that long being exhausted by such an unfair lifestyle.
I have to ask: “What is the matter with you people that you placidly accept being treated so badly?”
