There will be no consequences as long crews continue to report fit for their 6th consecutive early and/or late, they are willing to extend to fit those mid-east roundtrips within FTL-s as well as to turn a blind eye for OCC's creative "bookkeeping" on changing previous stby-s to off-s. No one can help them but themselves. Time to grow a pair and stand up against these bullies, at least for yourselves if you couldn't for your colleagues 2 years ago.

Wizz pilots need to display some strength. They should strike over this. The CEOs fate would be secured overnight if they did it. Eastern European culture used to be one of standing your ground but the current generation? Meh. How did we get to the position where it was acceptable to fly 4 sectors even 4 times a week let alone 6? Honestly. This job has become a world class joke.

Well done Wizz pilots, 1 out of 5. Other airlines could learn from your professionalism. Instead of just whining, you are taking the hard road and pulling the pin. Keep it up. 👍

Because working in an office when you are tired is just the same as flying an aircraft when you are fatigued. If the business model requires pilots to fly fatigued to meet the schedule then the business model is a failure. When will the regulators actually regulate and make these airline executives understand that aviation is not the same as driving Uber.

It should be, but apparently airlines which make their crew fly very fatigued have track records that are no worse than airlines with better conditions.
