I just did my expense report from my last tour. I have hotel receipts from:

London
Dublin
Bermuda
Nantucket
Dulles
Santa Monica

And that was a 7-day tour. We do 14 hour days standing on our heads in the Gulfstream fleet...

Do a 5 legger in the Yultra. Guaranteed you'll be doing the "Crying Game" at the end of the day.

No doubt. Point being the company is utilizing pilots unlike they did in the past.

Not necessarily true- 2006 was far busier for me on the Excel. That was due to having lots of airplanes, but not enough pilots getting through the training tunnel. It is back to normal times for me now on the Excel. Some days are brutal and others are do nothing and others are somewhere in between. It is definitely busier than the last couple of years, but not crazy all the time yet. I definitely believe things will get busier and busier until we reach the breaking point before current management will recall, but I don't think we are anywhere close to that. It is going to take a heck of a lot more fatigue calls that co$t the company more than it costs to recall.

I think the breaking point will be selloffs if it is not fatigue calls. Either way, they won't recall anyone until they absolutely, positively need to.

Which, by then, will most likely be too late.

Thats exactly why you can have it and most of us do not want the International side
