EK pilots 3 man MLE etc

Guys and Gals,

If you or the other pilots both do not get hours rest then the augment pilot does not count. You must write a discretion report, as a two man crew not in variation 1. When you go into discretion on a variation 1 flight the report goes straight to the authorities and it seems that the company was getting crap back. If you go into discretion under normal rules less than 2? hours it is internal. I am not sure how you start the trip legally in this manner, but remember, legally if you or the other guy has not got 3 hours its illegal to extend as per the 3 man crew. It is disrection and you must write a report. The company desperately is trying to prevent a lay over and if you just say you got 3 hours you are helping no one.
Fill out the report.
