And how many scheduling officers and pilot managers actually know what it is like to do 5 earlies these days? Or work 6 on, 2 off? They might think they know, but management pilots last did regular flying 10 years ago. We see them maybe once a fortnight when they fly on one day only; just 2 short sectors and go home early for a long weekend. The scheduling people work 9-5.
Ditto, how many pilot managers do you see flying at weekends and Christmas?
