Was a long time at FR. The fatigue thing was handled in the most idiotic fashion I've ever seen. They actually quoted some nasa scientist and told us how we couldn't be tired at all and then they went into stupid mega mode. They actually produced OFDM data showing the level of events per sector company wide during 4 sector early shifts. It showed a remarkable spike in sector 3. The voiceover clown then actually says 'this shows that there is no fatigue issue'. My first observation was the exact opposite, this clearly showed there was as that's exactly when you start getting tired on a four sector day. I believe nasa found out about this and told them to wind their necks in..
Also that guy above is absolutely spot on, I was treated like absolute
and they constantly underpaid me. I had a real idiot base capt too which made things worse. I would say anyone who joins Ryanair now is mad.
