Every single day I thank dog there are options for widebody pilots outside of EK. Sheer thievery.
In that letter TCAS makes reference to the increase in frequency of ULR and LR flights that EMIRATES was undertaking. That frequency continues to increase yet we are still crewed and rostered as if we are a low cost carrier operating turnaround flights.
Ten crews per airframe is required if our long term health is not to suffer and if the attrition rate for the more experienced pilots is to reduce.
