Duty day and heart attack risk

[densoo]

LONDON— People who regularly work long hours may be significantly increasing their risk of developing heart disease, the world's biggest killer, British scientists said Monday.

Researchers said a long-term study showed that working more than 11 hours a day increased the risk of heart disease by 67 percent, compared with working a standard 7 to 8 hours a day.

Better raise the duty time limits then. We have to make sure that we make the rich even richer.

Damn evil capitalists. Earning money and wanting to keep it as well. Pure evil.

Son, the game is rigged.

If you look back on the last 30 years and your conclusion is that the middle class is winning and teachers need a pay cut, you clearly don't get it.

16 hour domestic duty day, unlimited international duty day.

Compensatory rest is a joke.

And the worst part is SWA competes with the best rest in the industry and all the other carriers do not understand the staged overnight with the AM/PM shifts.

Flight and duty regulations will not improve till the fatigue calls skyrocket, the unions negotiate it as a top priority, and the companies figure out they can profit from it like SWA already has.

That bears repeating for absolute, sheer accuracy. Even rules written in blood don't happen as fast as changes driven by financial considerations.
