EK Statement: Quote
“We never compromise safety and always operate within the legal regulatory requirements with regard to flying times, operating hours, and
layover times in between flights for our pilots,” Emirates
PR Manager Rula Tadros wrote in an email.
CAR-OPS stated prior to JAN 2016 revision: LRO (Long Range Operation), any flight time over 14 hours the layover at off base location should be minimum 48 hours. However the note at the end of the paragraph said: all pairings accepted prior to the revision can be operated as approved.
New revision JAN 2016 is changed. The entire paragraph regarding the LRO has been removed, including the statement above. I tried to find any relating limitations regarding LRO in the current CAROPS, it is just vanished. Can somebody point out that I am incorrect in this matter? For who's benefit this goes again and by who.
