FTL's? Mmm......wonder why every ASR that refers to rest issues with cabin crew on ULR operations responds with something like;
"We do not follow the normal FDP for ULR ops and our rest strategy has been approved outside of CAAP14. There is no legal requirement for rest on ULR ops as a rest strategy has been put in place for individual pairings. The Purser has discretion on the day to reduce or increase rest depending on flight time. Crew must have equal rest but at no time must service or customer interaction be compromised blah blah blah"
So, it's ok to have completely knackered crew falling asleep on the jumpseat during landing just as long as there was good customer interaction throughout the 16hour flight. Let's not even take into account the time they're required to report.
I wonder if it had been EK instead of Asiana at SFO whether these hidden concerns would be highlighted and changed.
