JAR FTL and augmented crew, how long can we go for.
JAR subpart Q (FTL) is coming into effect on July 16th of this year.
The augmented crew part has been left open by the European parliament for national authorities to decide on.
The airlines are putting a lot of pressure on their CAA's to go for the maximum max.
In the Netherlands there is talk of 18 to 22 hrs, is that safe?
What rest facility is sufficient to an augmented 3 pilots crew and how long is safe?
Most charter company's have no collective labor agreements, will those pilots pay the price.
I am just wondering how other CAA's and pilots unions are coping with this matter. July 16th is around the corner.
