EK annual hours
 

There's a lot of talk on here about overwork etc. Is there anyone out there willing to publish their actual flying hours in the last 12 months at EK?

I'll go ahead at 810 hours in the last 365 days factorised, or 892 hours in the aircraft.

I know I've been slacking, and I apologise, because I know of mates with far more than this, who will probably not post. Maybe they're too tired.

But the good news is that if you do go sick, and it takes a while to get your license back, and after 3 weeks it is suspended, it is now a GCAA requirement that you have to do a CDT test before you get your license back. I :mad: you not!

731 stick - 893 block
(380 skipper)

B777 Capt, 806 un-factored.

380 captains fly 893 block hrs in a year???:ooh:

Why do you act so surprised 80s?
It will be soon be 1000 hours a year at a minimum for EK pilots.

832 with 40 days leave :O (380)

Was a better year, like wine, some will be more like vinegar :(

As of last medical it was 770 annual hours, not many ULRs these days 777 :ugh: 35 days leave last year.

I only count block and when I am on the plane, I log the hours if part of the crew!

SyB :zzz::zzz:

890 hours for me in last 12 months... A380. Non factored. Straight up block.

Pardon my ignorance gents, but is the limit 900 hours or 1000? There is so much talk of limit change I can't keep it all straight. I normally don't check my totals but I'm a little shocked i'm that close to 900. Well not really but you get my drift. Good thing I sprinkled in a few sick calls.

If the limit is 900, Fakk me. :ugh:

Total Block Time: 899: 43

on fat bus!

Rim-job the limit is 900 stick time. the portal shows only total block and partial stick.
if you want to know how close you are to the 900 hrs limit you have to do your own math. you and I have the same block hours and being both on the 380 my guess is you are around 750ish stick, so far away from any limit (according to EK)...

Thanks for clearing that up Zohan! :ok:

No matter what way you slice it, flying anywhere near 900 hours is a lot of flying. Especially when you take into account 2 months are gone to vacation, sick calls, etc.

That means we are 90 hours/month for 10 months out of the year. And don't even get me started on the "free" 3am sims and ground school days I happen to donate every few months that are not included in the 90 hours I'm referencing.

That's just crazy come to think of it. Suicide in fact. :mad:

896 block 380 PIC

A380 F/O
859h in the last 12 months, including yesterday's flight, and with Reserve month of 90h included.

The CARS limit you to 900 hours block time, not stick time!!

For what it's worth as a comparison..at Cx,777 I am right on a running 900hr roster..most of the captains are whether line or training.i have one long haul a month then a shed load of regionals..all long days.we include time in bunk tho.not happy days here either team....

Kingpost, why are we factoring our hours then?

tz

I am at 849. Thats with all my leave taken till November. And about 20 days non flying for some ground duties.

907 block, 820 stick. 42 days leave, no sickness. 777 Cap.

Kingpost, it's stick time (in EK).

tz

938ish (block) by the end of this month if I don't fall sick in the next days...
