We had factoring in the mid 2000's, then they dropped it for a year or two as they were concerned with the legalities. 2006 I was grounded for a month as I was on max hours. Those days the 777 boys were doing 75 every month, regular as clockwork... And by the way until 2005 when the ER's started arriving we had 49 Busses and 20 777's and we didn't think we were special because of those numbers...
I have sympathy for everybody working way to hard (been over 100 in 28 a few times this year) but stop pretending that your are now the victims and the Bus guys are the gloating bastards... get off pprune and go shag the wife or have a beer.... unless you're to tired!
