I thought it was only a German thing (2014)..shocked really to find out it is still happening at a big outfit in Malta...the 24/7 standby. 36 hours rest in retrospective...
Imagine how many people in management and operation departments around Europe are just falsifying paperwork...
But thank god we have ramp checks...where a screw is missing or a dent is not yet in the buckle-and-dent list. That crews are flying totally knackered doesn’t matter...as long as all screws are in place when you have an accident after more then 24 hours awake!
