Right chaps and chapesses, I would like to test & pick your brains please.
Yes I've read it for myself and have my own opinions, but how are others implementing the EU working time directive? Obviously in area world it's easy, but how about the rest of you at airfields?
My interpretation has always been that, unless operationally essential, we should try to keep within the spirit of the agreement. So roughly speaking a 9 hour day shift with a lunch break and no more than an 8 hour watch if any part of it extends past 2300L. Yes, there's always the support to ops caveat that can be waved in your face, but as I understand it we should only apply that as the exception rather than the rule.
Thoughts? If needs be please PM me! TVM
