The logging of time as told to me by guys currently on the job out of australia is shared 50 50 with the P1 (national captain) and the P2 other captain.
It is not a cruise relief position.
Every Second leg you will do the takeoff and the landing.
How you log the time when your not doing the takeoff or landing is up to you.
Its a 4 year contract not a two year contract and the company has been very good at ensuring that they want us there. If your base changes equipment they have even said that they will retrain you.
Yes TIC (this is china) ive read tons Ive spoken directly to many and Im aware of all the risks.. But I do believe that CSA is investing alot of money on this and they have many guys to take internally for a simple cruise relief captaincy...
ie draw from their own narrow body Captains?
Ive yet to decide on the job as well but am trying as hard as possible to simply look at the facts and now allow fear mongering into the equation.
