NewBird, Who are you exactly? And why the sudden interest in Pprune? I just happened to read Paula's response and from a wife's perspective (full admission - husband just left for work and I saw the screen open), I am thankful that attention is now being brought to this issue. The kids don't get to see their Dad near enough, and by the time he's actually home he's exhausted. I've seen too many good pilots and their families suffer because of health issues due to ridiculous long hours and poor scheduling practices (day/night flights & min.rest). Paula's message above just about brought a tear to my eye - for once someone cares enough to expose this mess for what it is. What has happened at FZ is heartbreaking and families have been affected irreparably. Management has plenty to answer for.
