Say Again,
Pilots & paperwork, well ................ another industry standard.
At a previous airline, 90% of the pilots wouldn't or couldn't complete a discretion report and those that did, well it would need rewriting.
I would complete the discretion reports on their behalf and 'pritt stick' their signature onto it taken from a leave application or similar before photocopying it for forwarding to the authority.
Was this illegal? Yes, but we got away with it for several years and were never questioned, in fact we passed each and every inspection with flying colours.

Phileas, yep my mistake, as you said it's the DP not the FDP that finishes when you are back at base or in a hotel (tired last night, i was talking crap). I couln't agree more with the points you have made regarding industry standards, the grass is always greener!

Impressive,
The duty period, under normal circumstances, ends at the airport, it ain't nothing to do with your A.T.A. at a hotel. If a hotel is more than 30 minutes travelling time away then we enter a different 'kettle of fish' but let's not go there!
