Thumbs up

Perhaps a new years resolution to check facts before posting on PPRuNe?
There is no nastiness in my message, and I am sorry if you mistook my tone or felt offended. My comment on the 24-hour nightstops comes based on the moans and complaints of EK crews who were told this is what to expect. I haven't read anything since then, but I am glad it is not so and that you guys got it resolved.

My curiousity about the polar flights stems from the fact that most of the regions' carriers work their crews somewhere near full throttle most of the time. I know that you are not the only people going over the Pole, but I understand that some other airlines track these things, and so I was wondering what will be done at EK.

I'll make it my New Year's resolution that the next time I want to confirm any rumours about EK, I'll touch base with you first.
