Oblaaspop - far from confused, but do let me agree that the way the FTL definition is written is perhaps less than 'succinct'.
wiz - I too was at eJ (
sort of / GoFly) and AEU... plus others too; oh happy days. Having reviewed some of my old (
UK airline) rosters they are (
of course) limited by 'flight time' (
block-to-block).
Fwiw, I wrote my initial question whilst having something of a 'tired moment', being momentarily unable to understand why I'm so knackered; whilst
ostensibly doing nothing different here to what one did in the UK. Call it a moment of self-doubt, i.e. thinking that I must have fundamentally missed something in the rules as one never seemed as tired there (
UK) as one does here (
UAE)... perhaps it's all that sand just grinding me down?!
My present (July) roster has 171 Duty hours, 93 Block hours and 42 Sectors... with every likelihood of this increasing (
standby call out).
Oh well, time to get ready for yet another flight tonight.... though at least tonight is scheduled (
last nights 10pm standby turned into a 1:20am report this morning with 4 sectors... nice!).
