I have pointed out my concern to more than multiple crew ULH which is two pilot red eye, back of the clock flying. With ****e rostering from earlies to lates to red eyes. This happens around the world day in night out.
EK do ULH and look at how they log duty time..... Not right in our eyes but it happens!
So as I’ve said I do stir the pot as I play devils advocate.
It is how it is because we allow management to get away with it!
Also as I’ve said how do SQ do the Newark ULH? They were some of the pioneers back in the A340, it worked. I have also pointed out that crew that did it generally did that only. The biggest issue they had was landing recency.
Aus - reinventing the wheel... again!
Yes - I agree - it will happen.
As self loading freight - I am quite happy to fly for 20 hours etc, to go straight from SYD to LHR.
Just give me enough movies, some decent food and remind me to get up and walk around to avoid DVT.
Bugger a stopover or refuelling.
I want to go straight there; less hassle.
