Yep, it is called crew scheduling using a program called the crew “optimizer” aka the crew sodomizer...
My wife is on medical leave as a pilot from a “major” due to substaintial sleep deprivation issues. Looking back, the 2 years prior to her health collapse were absolutely horrendous, we never looked at the schedule she was working until the damage was done.... I am pretty sure the flying public will see more of this cr@p.
Interesting. My belief was that forces more .. sinister ... were at work. But this could easily be attributed to horrid personnel practices. This is one of the EXTREMELY FEW CASES where unionization might serve a role.
I have heard of this and feel for your wife.
I am suffering similarly after taking care of a friend who went through dementia for years before passing.
Been three months and I still cannot get back into a proper sleep schedule.
Was dog tired all weekend from not sleeping and finally got some rest Monday morn.
Just takes time and everyone is different.
Hopefully your wife will be better soon.
