Meaningless post, the only concrete example is:
> For example, my colleagues and I have been asked to sit on 14-hour flights from the UW to the Middle East, only to then fly the same aircraft to Asia on another nine-hour journey
Which is a lot to __ask__ for. Wasn't the company willing to pay overtime wages?
I'm not a pilot, but to me it sounds like that's a pretty much unavoidable issue in the industry and the pilots are compensated heavily for this overtime, aren't they?
