And there are "airlines", in India, for example, that roster you on a 6 days ON/6 sectors ops, and then give you ONE day OFF!
And then do it again, and again........... what about that?
Which airline is that?
Noticed something about FDTL
The CVR has a continous recording of the last 2 hrs.

Two pilots discussion:
"Do you mind if I take a short nap?"
"No, no problem, go ahead -I have control and radios"
Then it's getting extremely quiet on the flight deck and naturally the other (and only) pilot falls asleep due to fatigue.

I second what dss3000 is saying, hehe.
Mumbai right now is a nasty place to fly to, bad wx, a loooooooooooot of traffic congestion with a loooooooooooot of ATC guys shouting to you if you donīt answer to their first call..so yeah..definitely all but quiet going there
By the way, expat contracts are those on 6 ON / 1 OFF . And yeah, itīs tiring and yeah the new FDTL doesnīt help at all.

My appologies, I guess I didn't realize you were making a general comment on the subject.
I agree Iv'e taken a nap on many occasions, I guess I'm just lucky I woke up before my partner did the same.

We are alone to cope with it and to bear any consequence of this cynism.
IF everyone spoke up and out about such situations especially to the media, this issue would not be an issue!!
speak up for yourself's, do something about it and do not allow this treatment or the cost will be much greater than your pay packet!!
