I guess I didn't realize that safety was negotiable.
I probably won't do them. But I ask you. We fly LIM-ATL every day, 7 hour allnighter, sun up for the last 3 hours--absolutely brutal. Is that "safe?"
Further, when I flew the 88, I found four consecutive days of early-birds to be completely fatiguing, but others liked them.
I'm not saying that these CDOs are good, or bad. I'm saying give it a little time. I can point out plenty of trips system-wide all all fleets that are more fatiguing than a CDO--many. Are they "unsafe?"
