Is QR the only airline in the world operating 3 crew on ULR?
Granted QR now only categorize Aukland as "ULR" officially, this is absolute criminal.
I really hope they won't get away with this 3 crew operations on flight times as long as 14 hours.
It is absolutely outrageous. 12-14 hour flight inbound, 24 hour layover after minimal rest and a horrible time difference at destination, followed by minimal rest on the flight back.
Leaves you jet lagged and fatigued for days after.
This is coming from a guy that is and has been otherwise happy in QR for over 5 years.
If you are joining on 777 or 350 in specific, be warned, this operation is absolutely brutal.
First officers "factored" hours is also something that they took, despite it not being done in EASA. Go figure!
This alone is worth not joining. On the 777 you are looking at a trip or two a month some months. 1 of these is enough to leave you restless for 10 days.
