5-4-3 is absolutely necessary for all HK drivers but almost useless for based pilots. The Company knows this and are relying on the based guy’s placing very little importance on the loss of this feature.
A based pilot could be scheduled for a ULH flight, 3 days of and do it again. But pretty soon he runs out of hours and rests for 15+ days if they compress his schedule. The HK drivers are working their ass off and need this feature desperately.
So, let's get 5-4-3 back for all those HK drivers with a lousy lifestyle.
