BOB- I assume Male is a "Burnout policy" flight.
I can only speak for the 330, where we do TRV 3 pilot, and there is a notam issued stating that it is to be burnout. I bought the issue of not getting the rest required due to changing seats etc, to manager regulatory affairs. His response was that on paper it is legal, and has been accepted by GCAA.
I guess it like our sign on is on paper 1 hour before push back and... well we all know how that goes.
