Just out of interest say again slowly how long have you been working for Emerald Airways? You see I couldn’t help but notice that you registered on 28th March 2000, but have only recently started making posts on Emerald Airways. Also you posted at the end of 2003 that you where in search of your first airline position (I’ll spare you the link).
I think you should be careful about what you say on a public forum as it doesn’t take a genius to work out who a Shed pilot in the company 7 or 8 months or so may be. Narrows it down quite a bit doesn’t it. Now before you accuse me of being MOB I will just state I am not, nor am I connected with Emerald Airways in any way. Also I must say as a relatively new employee of Emerald I find it incredible that after such a short time you have developed such disdain for the company who has given you the opportunity which will no doubt lead to bigger things.
Also you are on VERY dodgy ground claiming that you are, quote, “regularly rostered into discretion”. Sorry but I don’t accept that for one minute. If that was happening on a regular basis the CAA audit which occurs every six months (don’t forget the random spot checks which can, and probably do occur) would put Emerald in deep !!!!. Being rostered into discretion is illegal. If they are rostering into discretion the ops staff will also have to go back and change the rosters of the pilots, which incidentally have to be kept on file, to avoid being bubbled by the CAA. Best make sure you have a COMPLETE understanding of FTL’s, FDP's and the nature of discretion before you approach the authority with that little chestnut.
Now if I have incorrectly assessed your profile I do apologize, and feel free to correct me.
