Did you hear this at a wash-up?
Was it management talking?
Were they addressing pilots?
Were their lips moving?

If the answer to any of the above is yes, then they were lying.

ex-380, I think goretex was employing irony in his comment; you need to get more sleep!

The 330/340 schedules probably wouldn't give the opportunity, the penguin fleet will eventually as they get more routes/aircraft so it's the battery boys who are at risk for now.

With the present mix I don't think I could safely fly 1000 EK hours a year, factored or not :O

And...
The 777 surplus summer leave is no longer available. Coincidence?
