Actual Duty Time very much more!
Inside sources say that before departure from Jeddah crew were delayed at airport over three and one half hours waiting for passengers and then waited over three hours at Dakar again for boarding. Actual duty around 33 hours!!!!
Normal for that flight - previous two Dakar trips were done by Chief Pilot, Mathews, who has since resigned under pressure - lot of crews reportedly baling out at end of month - do not like intimidation and threats especially from little lying Indian "Crew Coordinator"
