And mentioning Loadmasters...........
As an aside, did you realise that EK Loadmasters have absolutely no protection from the Flight Time and Duty scheme, despite being flight crew? Found this one out in the middle of the night somewhere east of DXB from a very hard working Loadmaster who had just flown DXB - HKG - DXB, followed by a 4 hour layover (!!) in DXB before departing to CMB on his next duty. And all this from the guys who have on occasion to provide you with a manual load and trim sheet, for your careful consideration.
Whilst following up with Fleet Management was told that they didn't need to be covered under the FTL scheme as they were 'not considered licenced flight crew'. This despite me suggesting to the office that the poor guy who organised the loading and presented the loadsheet for signing was probably going to be even more fatigued than the two sat in the flight deck..........
Fly safe, especially in your 777F!
