Now in addition to 24-hour nightstops after an ultra-long haul flight to the US West Coast,
We don't. 48-72hrs. Yes, they tried it on with Houston and could have wall papered the new HQ with the ASRs (including mine).

I am wondering whether your company will be tracking Cosmic Radiation exposure for EK crews and adjusting their schedules appropriately?
No, we will be tracking sunspot activity and adjusting routes and cruising levels appropriately. In addition, our rostering system pretty much guarantees no one would be getting more than one of these trips a month.

Several airlines are now using the Polar routes, the potential savings being very significant, why single out EK?

Merry Christmas and all the best in 2009.
And to you. Perhaps a new years resolution to check facts before posting on PROON?
