non-company flight time
Dear all,
I am writing to ask if anyone out there has ever been or is still being told that they can not fly outside the hours they fly with their company. My company (a major airline) has stipulated that as of this month pilots are not allowed to fly (apart from my duty hours given to me by the company itself) except for the OCCASIONAL joy ride. This includes flying more than a few times in my own aircraft, as an instructor or any other activity that I can be paid for as a pilot. This was not in my contract when I signed it 15 years ago. If I can not fly, I will lose my ratings and endorsements.
Thank you in advance,
