w/ exception of perhaps a break or two. Issue: Union Activists for Flight Attendants addressing extreme long duty hours, hence extreme fatigue.
For those wondering: air carriers in recent years have furloughed thousands of cabin crew/pilots and piled on the excess duty hours to an overworked skeleton staff. While pilots have been more successful with curbing their duty hours, the duty hours for Flight attendants have been brutal.
Extreme fatigue and bad working environment (low oxygen levels) are health hazards that we are trying to expose to public awareness and regulatory commissions.
IF YOU ARE IN THE DC area, please drop me a line if you would like to stop by and say hello, discuss politics, have some coffee. I would love to see a fellow DUer and have an idea exchange-rap session. I will be there from 3p.m. the 7th (Wed) until 8 a.m. (Thurs) Location is FAA bldg 800 Independence Ave SW
