What's the FLA?

The FLA is a payment as communicated by flight ops. Once the powers higher above find out it is more than the allowance paid to pax fleet crew it will be adjusted accordingly.
You think I am lying?
You have not been here long enough.

I must have missed that communication.

Ah yes..as predicted those who chose not to apply are complaining already....

some hotels for the freighter don't have discounts for food like Zaragoza.

Im sure they have just taken an average layover allowance. Its makes sense. easier for crew and easier for company

@ eagleflight

Why would l shoot the meesenger when l said what you said :confused::confused:

Also , children, grow up! You look pathetic complaining about the littlest of things.

How does the FLA work? Do you have to take local currency for meals down route? Sounds complicated.

You're joking, right? You won't be spoon fed on this fleet.
You'll be on your own to sort out bigger problems than whether to go to an ATM for cash, or put bills on your Visa card.

Nay bother ya self lad with what's 'appening int sand pit, just carry on enjoying ya Hollands pie and pint a boddies in sunny Cheshire!

Not complicated at all, very simple actually. Works out at around $130 per 24 hours down route, that's ten shillings and thrupence to you. ;)

Oh my god!

Is anyone actually basing their decision on the FLA/allowance/hotel discount?

WTF are you guys talking about?!

Did you really just work that out?!

Pfft... Hollands and Boddingtons is for the uncultured Lancashire lot... Down this way it's Real Ale and Game Pie, and unfortunately it seems also fake 'Real Housewives' of Manchester/Liverpool/Warrington :ugh:

Seriously though, going to a cash machine in Mexico City? Guess I'm just a bit of a pu**y these days...

No need to be s pu••y. ATM in Hotel and bar nearby.

The one year makes it interesting ;)

From what I understand the 1 year is a minimum. There's no guarantee you will actually be allowed to switch back after 1 year.
I guess you can request it, but really you would be on the freighter until they decide otherwise......

From what I understand and communicated with them that a year is indeed a minimum and you can change after that year, honestly I don't see how it'll be different than pax. 5 days in a row is nice ;)

Serious question - are bank account holders in UAE covered for fraud involving rigged cash machines in those countries? Or is it better to risk using your UAE credit card to buy food only in the hotel?

Not that it affects me - just wondering how it works in the world of freight allowances.

I have a prepaid card that I use in questionable areas. That way any fraud is kept to a minimum.

Sounds like a good call.
