Do Other Major Airlines Besides Emirates have Pilots over the Yearly Flying Hours?
Big Geordie,
The system here is based on a ratio scale for duty time above 65 hours, 1 hour duty =1 hour overtime, then 1.5 hours overtime, then 2 hours overtime, so that 65 hours overtime = 100% of salary.

Dear Uplock,
Is that 900 hours factorised hours or non factorised?
Over here;
1)900 hours factorised in 365 days(not 12 months) for Wide body.
2)Factorised means we logged 85% for 4 man crew ops ex:KUL-LON,90%
for 3 man crew ops ex:KUL-AKL.
4)This 900 hours is governed by the Civil Aviation Authority.
5)The company rosters pilots according to this schedule limits.However it is still the pilots' responsibility to monitor the hours and declare them if you suspect that you are high on hours.The company will then take you out of the roster.
If you decide to fly still,it's your call.

Further Background
Cat 3B to answer your question our FTL document does not presently mention credit for factorizing however I suspect it is lurking in the back ground given the company briefly introduced factorizing then just as quickly as it appeared it vanished causing all to be completely confused. (This terminated end of April 2006, not sure of the exat start date)
Its not just a simple matter of saying ok do your 900 hours as our route structure is so varied with many changes of time zones and dubious rostering practices combined with vivid interpretations and ongoing massaging of our Flight Duty and Time Limitations.
This is why I would have liked to have had some hard figures on what goes on in other major international airlines so I could make a comparison.
edited April to reflect this years date
