Guys,
A quick word from the other side of the fence. We here in crewing and rostering ensure that NO Atlanta pilot flies over the max. And thats a UK FTL, as well as the Icelandic - we fly to the more restrictive.
There have been database issues, and the Captain you are referring to from last summer has left the company, but not just because of that one incident.
All i know is crewing / rostering, and I know we stick to the scheme just as rigidly as any other airline, if not more so. Do pilots moan about flying near to the limits? Yes, but when don't they. Nearly every complaint I've ever had from an AAI pilot has been "Please give me more flying." Oh, and all my days off in a row in August please, that's quite common.....
SO feel free to abuse the owners, but we have taught Iceland the joys of acclimatisation, adequate rest, consecutive nights...Now if we could just stop going to Banjul....
