What can we do to fix this? I know other airlines have increased compensation for pilots who work more then 10 hours in a duty period. But there seems to be a large contingent of our pilots that says if we implement this at AA it will just make things worse, mostly from more senior folks. So what else can be done?
”son it’s just the way we’ve always done it”. If your tired fatigue that’s all I can say. And guess what look more in-depth those long long MCO-PHX-ORD for example last day of trip days because they know you want to get home are almost on every pairing and you won’t fatigue because your going home.
