Factorised (!) Hours for Augmented Crews
On an augmented three pilot flight, my airline reckons one flying hour actually only counts for three quarters of an hour. On a four pilot flight, my airline reckons one flying hour only counts for two thirds of an hour. The logic being, my company can squeeze more flying hours per month out of each of us flying augmented ops. What does your company do in terms of recording augmented flying hours?
Commercially expedient and flight time limitation efficient!! You work it out - a 100 monthly flying hour limit now becomes somewhat more.
God help us and all those who fly with us................
PS: my company?? ...... long haul wide body operator with 70+ aircraft.
