These also a no recourse fatigue policy. You cannot face disciplinary action for calling fatigue. Therefore the whole "pilots flying hungry and tired argument: is nonsense, unless said pilot hasn't bothered to read the contact.
It's also no secret most pilots seek to do the least amount of work for the most amount of money. It's an argument used frequently in 121 vs fractional thread. FDP rewards the guys that fly their butts off on a busy tour vs the guy who would otherwise be paid the same for sitting around by the pool all week with a broken airplane.
How did you like the FDP program when you were working here? Oh, that's right, it didn't exist back then, yet you still claim to be an expert on the matter.
All of the things you listed above as a counter to my argument are moot, as they were available pre FDP and remain unchanged. Which again proves my point that FDP didn't improve any of those areas. The ability to order 4 crew meals, and deviate them if needed were here before FDP. Keep grasping for something, I am sure you'll find it...Originally Posted by Das Auto
You can order upto 4 crew meals day here free of charge. If they don't show up you get a $23 credit per meal to go buy your own food or have it delivered to your hotel room.These also a no recourse fatigue policy.

Of course the fatigue policy is no recourse, that is why fatigues were sky high before FDP. Now, there is a pay incentive to not call in fatigued. If you can't see that or can't understand that, then I question your critical thinking skills.
