HI, everybody, I really need your help about this topic.
Our company, will add a 767-300 to the fleet.
At the moment we are flying a 767-200, operating under the rules of the country of origin where it is registrated. In that country a crew of four pilots is required for ETOPS operation overseas in flights between 18 /22hrs on duty.
This new 767, will be registrated in our country, that's where our problems start, because here, ETOPS operations can be performed by only 3 crew members instead of 4. Of course, this fact is supported by the "smart guys" from our company, imagine how happy are they to save 25% of the crew cost. Sounds good, never mind the excessive workload and safety!!
As a matter of fact, many coleagues have been recently dismissed, people that would be called back to work otherwise.
Our local Pilots Association is planning to argue against that, so any information or material about this would be appreciated. Let me know if you need further information.
Thank you all very much for your help!
