"Sigh" "Sigh"
Drop and Monarch- You have to take the first sentence into account. Plus - come on now, the SOP was written to cover operating out of Dubai, not for the on leave situation.
I know of guys, (personal friends of mine) who spent 5 days in London, came back to Dubai, operated an ULR 12 hours later and got in the sh!t for it from the company.
Please feel free to continue on your interpretation of it, I care naught, but I know I shall come back from leave at least 3 days before a ULR.
I was rostered once, ages ago, for a ULR after my leave. I rang the FDM and told him I was not going to be acclimatised and they changed the duty. This further reinforces my interpretation of the OMA is correct over your version.
Best of the seasons greeting to all.
