Last, the recording of hours policy was there for a long time (( the operating crew can log all the flying hours but the Augmenting crew can only log the hours when they are occupying an operating seat.)) It’s in the CAR Ops.
No one objects to the policy as it relates to the logging of flight time. What we object to (and what is of dubious legality) is the application of the factoring towards FTL's. If you read the regulation, it is quite a stretch to say that it can refer to FTL's. This is nothing more than a cynical attempt by Emirates to make up for their lack of planning on the backs of the flight crews. If it doesn't immediately cause an increase in the exodus, you can be sure that after a year of 120-130 hour rosters, it will.
