OK, now for the SERIOUS people out there.....
I agree that flying 900 hours a year
long haul is easily achieved, all it takes is 3 flights a month:
DXB-JFK-DXB = 27h20,
DXB-MEL-DXB = 27H35 and a
DXB-SYD-DXB = 28H40
TOTAL = 83H35 x 10.6 months (365 - leave) = 886 hours
HOWEVER, at Emirates the long haul flights are surrounded by short turn arounds (at the most ungodly hours) which eat away into off days. Compound that by working guys over 100 hours per month and that's where the fatigue issue comes in.
By the way, had to LOVE the message on EVITA (Emirates Voice Information Telephone Access) the last few days:
"This message is for all flight deck crew, unless you are calling sick or volunteering to work today (yeah right!) please do not call crew control as we have too many flights to cover and are unable to help you with any further information....unless it is urgent. Thank you."
