Thanks DutchRoll and Jetsbest for the explanation. I do have several other questions if I may. Are you Jetsbest suggesting that your employer should put on extra services so that you don't have to layover so long or are you suggesting that your airline shouldn't go to that destination because you have to layover so long or are you saying that they should bring you home and fly someone else in to replace you?
For both of you or anyone else who has enough knowledge to answer, does Singapore Airlines, Cathay, Emirates, Etihad have MDC and if not, do the pilots get any pay recognition for the long layover as detailed in Jetsbest post?
