Just as at fault are the 9th floor managers, who believe the very same thing. Why on earth would they dicate to Jeppesen the requirement that the pilots can't have 'too many days off' in the CMP protocols? Only management who have NO idea as to the most efficient methods of dealing with pilots. To wit: the less days we are on the property to accomplish our hours, the cheaper we are. That is why the US carriers in particular are so more efficient than CX. They want their pilots to be at work the minimum days, hence minimum cost. Apparently that concept is just too difficult for our geniuses to understand. The other problem is this: our own pilots help perpetuate this mess by continuing to show up for work and fly such ridiculous schedules. Stop letting yourselves be abused in this way and maybe things will start to change. Keep enduring such pathetic rostering (and going to management drink invites and you will only allow the company to let things remain as they are.
