Am I the only one who thinks fatbus and what goes up are rather misguided to say the least.I for one cannot believe the cr p coming out of them!!
Personally I have been flying ULR with several other airlines long before EK even got out of the gulf area and I can tell you EK have got it all wrong.
Bunks far fron the flight deck,no firm policy on use of seats in the cabin(other airlines block 2 J class seats for the heavy crews),short layovers,insufficient rest on return,the list is almost endless.
Yes its good hours etc etc but in terms of ones health and sustainability its dangerous.
Its gonna be hard to avoid these trips now as most guys I talk to are not really interested in doing them.Wouldnt it have been nice to have some dialouge with mangemnet over these trips before we started them.We have lots of experience out there who have done this type of flying for years.
