Under the new act
Under the new act
Flight duty time at night is cut by 45 minutes to a maximum of 11 hours
The maximum number of flying hours in 12 consecutive months is reduced from 1,300 to 1,000
Weekly rest is increased to two days instead of a day and a half, twice a month
After a significant time zone crossing, five days' rest are granted at home base, in contrast to the two days or less allowed by some member states
Maximum duty time during airport standby (ie standby plus flight time) is fixed at 16 hours instead of the 26 or 28 allowed by some member states
So given that EASA FTL will be managed in the UK either under FRMS or airline social / industrial agreements / Working Time Directive things perhaps not as bad as you make out?
