The point of this thread was, does anyone else have factored hours for absolute Limits?
As for the head of the Airline having anything to do with the regulatoy Authority, this is just a myth. The head of the airline is the Chairman of the DCA (Dubai Civil Aviation) This is actually the AIRPORT not the GCAA. this would be the same as saying the Spanish guy in charge of BAA (British Airports Authority) is the head of the UK CAA.
