Sounds like the classic "we are stretched for resources" syndrome.
The sad story is that we are not stretched at all.....! We have the majority of captains here flying 55-58 hours/month.....! We certainly have good manning numbers..., (for now, many people looking at options) All this discontent is self inflicted by simply not having a clue of how to make efficient rosters.....!
Like one of the managers told me when I mentioned paring software...., "We haven't found a software that adjusts to our operation" in one of the most technologically advanced countries on earth that is...!
The contact as per the T&C's has fallen WAY behind..........., not even close to being competitive.....!
