Check-out time
A few weeks ago my employer decided to end our 15 minutes check-out time: the duty time after the park brake is set after the last sector of the day. It was done without any notice, without any explication.
In my opinion 15 minutes was quite a short time, where many companies have at least 30 minutes after their last flight.
Anyway, now when I set the brake, with all passengers on board and the doors still closed, waiting for the airbridge to connect, I am already in my rest period preceding the next day of duty.
Your opinions please. Any more pilots working without check-out time? Is it legal to be in your rest time with pax still on board?
Thanks!
