Someone mentioned the FRMS...what a laugh that program is.
On a similar medical subject...has anyone noticed the radiation monitoring program quietly went the way of the dodo? According to sources at the clinic, the figures exceeded anything anyone wanted to be aware of, and so it got put down.
Are you aware that a polar crossing is something in region of the equivalent of 4 X-rays; that UV radiation coming through the windscreen at high latitudes is 10 times more than you'll experience lying on the beach...and that companies like Virgin restrict their crews to 1 polar crossing every three months, whereas EK recently changed their policy to allow three ULR flights (no differentiation between 3x SD/AKL or 3 x LAX) per roster. NINE times more than Virgin allows.
Between serious fatigue and long term exposure to serious doses of radiation, flying for EK is indeed putting your health at risk.
I personally know of four EK pilots who have suffered brain aneurysms/strokes in the past three years. And those are just the ones I know about.
