I am wondering how these 3 men ULR flights will be managed? Probably by the normal FTLs. Like we did a few years ago. Now will you go into discretion when the time is up? Will there be factoring as well? Imagine one captain and 2 f/os and having to factor the captain's time in the bulk. That would actually mean "no captain on board" for the time you rest. I can't accept that. If they want my signature to operate a flight they have to credit me for the whole time.
What do you think?
Hope it is sorted out before we go flying... I heard the pressure in the cooker is pretty high when you refuse discretion... They even put you in discretion without asking by delaying some "annexe" flights on night turns and if you refuse you have to justify... What is it that they don't understand in the word discretion???
