My friend is a Captain with them. He has already had sick leave due to chronic fatigue. He spoke to me a year ago, stating he was really struggling with the roster. He had been on a round of earlys, the worst for him, and was getting to the stage of looking to leave. It is the individuals choice of course. Leave.....the crystal clear point however, is that it should not be this way. The airline appears to be well run, the flights appear to be run at near capacity, the schedules fit with public demand. So why is it deemed necessary, desirable, to flog every last inch out of the crew with rosters that induce these problems. No one wants strikes, least the crews themselves, so hopefully sense will prevail.
