In such circumstances how do Emirates treat the aircrew?
In passing - take EK162 with a +10 hour delay in Ras Al Khaimah on the way to Dubai.
I know the financial consequences to me as a PAX on such a flight but you have crew already on duty several hours before the incident crossing different time zones into a new day etc
In such circumstances how do Emirates treat the aircrew?
Do they get time and a half in extra pay? As the pilots are still on duty is it counted as flying hours? Do they time off instead? Are they given recovery time?
Ignoring crew remuneration, I'd imagine it is a very complicated problem to construct flight crew schedules that allow for complex crew scheduling problems caused by such a delay. Any idea how it is done?
