Whether it is legal or not, our interpretation of the AFTL’s is ours and ours alone. We interpert the AFTL’s to work for us, not you.
You do what we tell you, if not, we will terminate your contract and you know it. AFTL’s are for guidance only. The GMA and the Head of Scheduling had sat down and worked very hard on their own interpretation of the AFTL’s and that is how it works.
Do your really believe that any pilot will question the legality of what crew control tell them? Very few and we know who they are, we are keeping notes.
Enjoy your new COS and here’s to my bonus.
