EK augmented flying credit is 2/3 for calculation towards the 100 hour monthly limit, but as far as the payment for the time on duty is concerned in an augmented crew compliment, it is paid for the entire duration. So what is all the fuss about? If the company is better utilizing the crew what's wrong with it? Maybe the EK drivers have become accustomed to taking a fat paycheck without actually putting in the required manhours, and so now that the company has increased productivity and one has to actually work to earn, there is all this activity - ASRs etc. I would like to ask is safety really being compromised or is it that under the garb of safety EK drivers are trying to advance their pecuniary interests?
I also know that the hard hour limit has been reduced to 78 and that version 4 with more stringent FDTL has been adopted by EK in place of the previous version 3.
Any thoughts on these FACTS
