This makes my blood boil!!
This kind of thing is more and more likely to happen with the passing of every day. Our CEO's are pocketing millions while the workforce is being ground into a stressed out pulp, devoid of any family time or lifestyle. Enough is enough already.
CASA: If you didn't care previously, you better start caring now, what happens when you get two guys/girls on a flight deck with severe life stresses? What then? How is your two people on the flight deck rule going to work when (not if) suicidal tendencies become the ubiquitous in your pilots psyche?
Airline management: You should hang your head in shame, you have caused this. Irrespective of whether you can make it look like you didn't, you have caused this. You and every other sniveling little bottom line watching manager, across every single toxic airline business unit, across this country have committed murder by proxy.
Pilots/engineers/cabin crew etc. reading this: If you are feeling like you are being crushed under the weight of the ****ty situation you are in, I urge every one of you to submit an ASIR or REPCON outlining the shameful treatment you are subjected to by your employer.
This is the warning shot for Australian aviation, CASA, Airline CEO's, politicians, fix this NOW before thing get worse.
Look after one another, your family and your workmates are all you have in this game. Get help if you need it!
