Split shifts & total duty time.
Hello team,
over a great many beers the other night the following question arose:
Assuming the standard industry exemption (Chapter V) applies :-
A bank runner works a 12-hour day with a 4-hour break in the middle.
Does the pilot accrue:
a) 12 hours duty, or
b) 8 hours duty,
to their 14-day total?
I am told GAM pilots only work 2 or 3 days/week on the assumption that a) applies.
I know there is at least one bank runner who works his pilots 5 days/week on the assumption b) applies.
