To each his own...... Right. Nothing that you do could affect your crew.
The union must, and the company should recognize that we have to set rules in place for the weakest link, not the strongest. I have flown with guys who can sleep soundly with all kinds of outside disturbance going on.. not me however, and I never plan on working right off a Deadhead.
But I have to say that all these arguments that the company is collecting data to be used later... though may be true... its the UNIONS job to stand up and say... tough! we have to plan for the guys that can't do that safely... and so do you!
Have some faith in the union... They are Us.
