Well...
The union contractually guaranteed that our QOL will suffer greatly for this entire contract cycle. Unlike Vacation or insurance(other important issues) this colossal screw up in scheduling affects us every single month for the foreseeable future. Truly ****ed at our guys for this one.
I was just looking at a five day pairing that had a three day redeye followed by two, am show three leg days.
Unbelievably fatiguing.
If we don't call fatigued on a trip like that I don't know what to say. If you don't want to call out due to our pilot pushing culture, fly it, then fill our both a fatigue FCIR AND an ASAP. We need to get FAA visibility on this nonsense.
