Blame Crap Rostering Practises
W_G_U Its not so simple….Ask the guys who do the research and write papers on Ultra Long haul Flying.
Emirates had a leading expert in the Field who issued guidelines and published charts which are written for one and all to see however in practice are mostly ignored because of the practical aspects of the job.
In my book Rostering = Company and crap rostering means you will have problems sleeping so Ghostflyer was correct
Most of my crew are pretty much knackerd on an OZ trip come 9 hrs time difference and the body trying to work our when and when it should stay awake or fall asleep.
Thought the comment about management watching ULR error trapping from GR was very relevant, perhaps they Management should sit on the Flightdeck (dont know where though) watching 4 guys arrive back from MEL or SYD into DXB and see how things happen in the real world.
