Now even the most dedicated morning person isn’t happy getting up at 2:30 for a 4:30 push. Even the most die hard night owl is exhausted when they roll into the hotel at 3am. There’s little time to exercise or eat a healthy meal. Its basically 💩, shower, shave, sleep and back to the airport.
That is what happens when they start building all the lines with under 12 hours of rest . Not to mention the 10 hour, block in to block out has become the normal to force upon the pilots.
Now they want to get visas for foreign pilots , they are starting to realize nobody wants to work at this place. Maybe they are hoping the foreign pilots will not realize the errors in payroll every month.
