pilots are only really glorified bus drivers.
Yes
Don, it's true, just ask Bob Hawke. But then again no need to - EVERY
non-pilot REALLY knows just how easy it is to be a pilot....geez, mate, look how many movies have been made where good old John Citizen, who has only a few hours flying experience has had to jump into the seat of a Jumbo and save the day!
Piece of p!ss really - but shhh, don't tell too many others about
our secret,
Don.
But you know the REALLY good part, we get paid SQUILLIONS to do this p!ss-easy job...and then it's only for about 3 hours per day, a couple of times a week. If the Crew Scheduler
tries to MAKE us do any more than that, then THE COMPANY stops them.
The Company is full of idiots you know
Don - they employ negotiators (on salaries FAR more than the squillions we pilots get) who are so easily bluffed at contract renewal time, that even half-smart men such as yourself,
Don, could do a supremely better job!
It's OBVIOUS that you have an in-depth knowledge of these industrial matters,
Don, by your deeply thought out and intricate sentence that you composed, when you wrote,
"
The schedulers apply and roster/schedule to the rules arising from agreements negotiated by the employer and the union/s representing the employees."
You had ME thinking about that one for hours,
Don.
Mate, you're a frickin' GENIUS.
Interesting post,
Keg - but wasted on the
Dons. I seriously doubt that he'd know the difference between a B767, B744 and an AK30!
