Do Crewing ever care??
after doing a recent duty, a colleage of mine was ranting and raving about the answers given to him about his next duty and whether it is legal?
just to high-light the points of his previous duty:
left place of rest at:- 02:30z
crewing placed delay on delay line at:- 02:40z
crew member arrived at crew room at:- 03:55z (revised report time 07:00z)
crew memeber discovers delay at:- 04:40z (stays within the crew room/terminal area)
crew member departs for 2 sector duty at 10:30z
lands back at base at:- 19:20z
Duty period ends at:- 20:00z
this crew members next duty is at 09:00z the following day!
Q1: is the duty carried out by the crew member legal?
Q2: is the duty the next day legal?
the crew member was given the following suggestions by the crewing department to improve his legallitly for future dates:-
a) move closer, although he lives within the airliner's stated time away from base to arrive when on stand-by
b) maybe they should pull over and check the delayline before/after crossing the 'Dartford Bridge'
Q3: has anyone else be told of stupid inappropriate nonesense by their crewing department?
