Excellent post!

So, what is 'experience' and how do we quantify it? Well, if you're talking of flying experience, you just add up the total time that the a/c is in motion. For many of us that might include a take-off and landing every hour or two. For others it may include ten hours or more in the cruise over the Atlantic/Pacific/Africa etc, with one take off/landing every 12 hours or so, 3 or 4 hours of which were probably wearing your pyjamas in the bunk!

A wise person once said: It doesn't matter how many hours you have in your logbook. Only the next one's important.

A previous poster was correct. No female, no story! Maybe Easy don't have many. At my outfit it's becoming more usual all the time. Rightly so.

Just PR. Nothing to see here. Move along!

The REAL story at Easy is the level of fatigue, not the level of experience! But the management want to keep one of those stories OUT of the papers!
