Of course many US operators have 3 men crews but only up to 12 hours flight time. Keep in mind few pilots fly over 80 hours for the month so it’s not a big deal.
We also fly 3 pilots from JFK-GLA and JFK-DUB which both trip are well under 8 hrs even Westbound.
I cant remember the FTLs ar Emirates but 14 hrs to JFK or SYD is just unsafe especially when you include the extreme fatigue EK pilots have from flying 95 hard time hours for years.
The pilots that are not stuck at Emirates really, really need to get out as quick as they can. Even before this insane move it was well advised for your health and sanity to leave but this 3 man crap is dangerous to your license and your livelihood.
Why would any pilot stay (or join) at Emirates? It is Dangerous and Unsafe!
