Loved the chat show David, although I don't see what significance FAA regs are to EK drivers???
EK has followed , until now, a much more civilised FTL scheme , CAP 371, and various UK CAA regulations.
Even with the new hours calculations I would be very surprised if anyone goes over 900 actual hours in a 12 month period. It's possible and it may happen , just cant see it myself, and before anyone does a complicated sum you would have to do virtually nothing but 4 crew flights for the year, and we don't have that many.
Although with the reduction in leave available and 8 days off a month and crew shortages , hey someone deserves a GOLD Mabrook award .............
