So after months of fatigue reports, ASRs, working groups, venting at forums, e-mail writing etc. about how these Annex 1 trips are fatiguing, dangerous and regularly illegal, what is EK's - response??
They increase the max flight duty period by 30 mins.
INCREASE a limit that is demonstrably over the top already.
WTF?? Makes a mockery of the whole FRMS charade at EK.
Shows Flight Ops Management have no idea of long haul operations and no personal integrity.
Illegal, dangerous and stupid. Can only be a sign of absolute desperation.
