It is beyond me as to how the GCAA can raise an internationally approved limit on flying hours and how this is applicable only to the UAE??? This is really pushing the limit .
Internationally recognised limit?
Really?
How very interesting.
For those who are not informed, the USFAA have had the limit at 1000 annual hours for as long as I have been a professional pilot...42 years.
One thousand hours seems entirely reasonable to me, and reminds me of the old saying by a former US President...Harry Truman, to wit:
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Next thing the folks in the UAE will want is more money...which, oddly enough, is fine by me.
After all, when you approached your present airlines HR department, you asked for work, did you not?
