I assume this is a wet lease, using JMC aircraft and crews, but operating out of US bases. Why in that case do all the UK crews need to have an FAA ATP and type rating?
And why does this take 2 months?
Surely the fact they already have an CAA (ICAO) type rating and ATP is enough?
Also, can anyone let on as to what destinations the flights go to?
Do the contracts finish in April?
Finally, do you get any JMC allowances whilst the $40,000 pro rata is being paid?
