Caucatc,
Your shift times wouldn't be allowed in the UK.The second day split shift is a definite ''Cannot'' here, because of legalised hours,and minimum time off between shifts.
A few questions though.Is Chinese airspace going to cope with the Olympics coming up? At HongKong we used to get some horrendous delays imposed by the mainland,almost without notice through BEKOL and DOTMI.
Is there still the requirement to have 5 mins between aircraft at different levels and how will RVSM affect the Mainland capacity.
My own thinking is that traffic from HongKong up to the mainland at the peak late morning rush,will be severely delayed to make way for International traffic.No losing face during the Olympics.
