Food For Thought

You are LHR based and have just arrived into Sin.After 24 hrs you are called on to operate the QF5 to FRA......the aircraft broke down and the crew are now out of hours.After a 24 hour slip in FRA you operate back to SIN.After a 24 hour slip you are called upon to supplement a shortage of crew in PER.......operating PER/SIN return.A further 24 hrs and you are on your way back to LHR.You have lost your next trip and are now on S/BY....roster stability is shot to pieces.
The FAAA is not able to support you since you are working for an off shore subsidiary.
You have no hours limitations and no slip formula.Since your original slip was reduced you were overpaid in allowance and this needs to be returned.
You do not have a duty hours limitation.Is your roster 8 weeks or 4 weeks in duration?Can you be placed on S/BY in a foreign port?What is your minimum rest entitlement?
Can you be used to cross crew with Sydney based crew?
How often will you be on S/BY?
How many DHCs will you receive for S/Bys(if any)
All questions that need to be asked before making a commitment
