Flexibility and Bag of Money

apparently you can work longuer hours with the Z reg
Ha ha ha. On Z reg with chief pilot with no "cojones" at all you ignore crew duty instead doing what 'management' tell you to do. Remember all crew paperwork can be fix by ops with cut and paste and white paper fluid.

A lesson in flexibility I would say.
DD you are very diplomat. Please say to me you never did 20 hour duty day during your time at Avient on regular basis?

I would probably say dispensation from the ZCAA is directly proportional to the size of the brown paper package he's clutching
DD also say to me you never sit on flight deck during preflight to help skipper counting very large quantities of dollars contain in large brown envelope and deliver to aircraft down route? Remember flight cannot dispatch until cash is all counted? Remember when skipper handing brown paper envelopes full of cash to random africans in those strange places? You are not cynic I think.

Liegetrucker.

As I said at the beginning . . . I left.

The CP WITH cojones left and is happy with an airline that respects their staff and observes basic safety rules.

Yes I did one or two 20 hour days before I refused. I thought the worst was Lagos Sharjah Lagos or the other way around. I also remember 'negotiable' maximum landing weights too.

Funnily enough, I did notice men counting money once or twice.

ME . . . a cynic, no it can't be true!

Take care my friend.

I don't think anyone flying for Avient will be flying Lagos-Sharjah-Lagos in the immediate future as the rumour has it that they are currently banned from flying into the UAE. Anybody got any further news on this ?

Flexible limit

Ah yes. I remember watch new skipper walk around apron in confuse state with mouth open because "Andrew" had given permission to land DC10 overweight 5+ ton. Not allowed dump fuel. Non-cojones CP support melt away like snow in lagos. Amazement.
