There was plenty of talk from management that without this undocumented crew duty there would be no way of crewing their flights.
In a nutshell. Thank you!
This is a very dodgy practice, from a certain operator, encouraging it's pilots to blur the lines, and risk their own livelihood in the process. For whose benefit??? Definitely
NOT the pilots'!
And who is defending this dodgy practice? Complaining here that it's all being brought to light??? Calling for the thread to be deleted/shut down, in case it rocks the boat?
Not that operator, (AFAWK) but
PILOTS! (apparently??)
You couldn't make this stuff up!!!
