Confused
Please don't think I'm taking the Mick or playing Devils Advocate, I'm not. Going back to the point, someone gave the statistic 10-13 G days average for HKG 400 driver - My question....Is that bad??

No, 10-13 G is not bad. What is usually bad is the duties in between the G days.
Nth American freighter patterns for HK based crew may as well read as a line of reserve. They know the day they are leaving, and that's about it. Their rostered return flight is usually followed by O days, so their return date is not even a sure thing.

Agreed Bob, but ... "Current Yardstick" ... Honestly Fellas 10/10 for anyone optimistic enough to think we can go back to the way many things used to be, and maybe the outflow venting seen on these pages is a cathartic experience for some; however, when my last medical ended up in a long discussion with the Doc about how they should best advise the younger guys coming in who are so angry and stressed then you have to wonder whether we should look outwards not inwards and realize we're just not that badly off?
Okay - taking cover now.

bc,
Did you forget, "freighters are rostered exactly the same as passenger pilots". It's just the disruptions and 12 day patterns that are different.
How can they even say that and keep a straight face?
