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.
Can't speak specifically for Easyjet but in general the airlines (all of them) want minimum crew headcount, so they want every crewmember working to their maximum legal limit - anything less is seen as inefficient by the accountants. If questioned on how hard they are working people they use the fact that they are rostering in compliance with FTL rules (regardless of how daft/onerous those rules are) as evidence that they are producing safe rosters.
