But quite possibly under the circumstances we would all have done the same thing.
We quite possibly would not.
There is a reason for CC:
We don't
go the extra mile in abnormal circumstances
because
it is being exploited by our management, when they know that we are already pushing up against limits
.
The message sent here is that CC is effectively not in force and that the company can easily get away with having imposed 3-man to Europe (the reason we are in CC in the first place) as they will now simply expect us to work 16 1/2 hour - 2 sector days with virtually no rest and much less of a squeak.
How would you like to be the burnt-out relief on a day like that?
And the more our own colleagues 'decide' that it is ok and perfectly safe to push the boundaries of human physiology with 300 unsuspecting pax in the back, the more the bonus-collectors will expect us to do so.
It is almost like we are deviating from normal, safe procedures by making these more hazardous conditions seem normal...
I think there's a term for that. It's on the tip of my tongue...
