- at company level for the farce of a Fatigue Management system. Try your rosters with a standard Western ruleset for Fatigue Management. At DHL they couldn't believe the difference that made on top of legal requirements.
- at company level for bullying Captains into discretion as a default
- at GCAA level for covering up the false check-in times
- at GCAA level for granting all the Annex exceptions
- at GCAA level for factoring the Augmenting Hours
- at GCAA level for disclosing confidential crew reports to the employer
- at Aeromedical level for following Employer wishes versus independent medical judgment
...
All of that is violating quite a few laws.
nobody bullied me into discretion, I am not saying they didn't try, walked off 3 flights, JFK, PEK and double DOH, nothing ever happened, not even a phone call.
