could be equiped with the ultimate in on-board crew rest faciltities, including showers, enabling pilots to operate the aircraft using a shift pattern similar to a ship's roster"
"Crews could operate ultra-long haul flights to a 4h on/4h off pattern, and when they get to destination, they'd turn around and fly back without need to acclimatise to different time zones" he says"
"And Clark has a simple solution to winning the pilots over his plan. "The savings generated by not having to put crews up would be given back to them in their pay packet" he says" Unquote
From past experience if this ludicrous idea were to come to fruition it would be:
1. 4 on 4 off
2. BCRC in it's present form.
3. No showers or any other 'luxuries'
4. Only count 50% of the 'on' time for FTL purposes due to some misinterpreted letter from the GCAA.
5. Promised review of the situation when sufficient FRMC data collated (ie. never).
6. A ULR allowance of 10 Dhs per 'on' hour to pay for deodorant and toothpaste.
