FTPs commence 1 hour before push back yet we are briefing the cabin crew at t-83 mins? How does that work?
On the 330 I was averaging 13 (17 was my record) turns a month that's a lot of duty times but never came close to the overtime limit. Was getting paid way less then 777/380 drivers for way more work.
Certain ULR flights like Boston and Toronto are being manned 3 crew yet programmed as ULR. Under the ftp with 3 pilots ops with discretion you can do 18 hrs. With a stroke of the pen it is branded as ULR and you can now do 22 hrs.
How does that work?
