Virgin - Bali question
Just curious about this one .... Virgin arrives into Bali at 1330 from Melbourne and returns at 2210 later in the evening. Seems like a long time for the aircraft to be sitting idle on the apron at DPS. Is it because the same crew operates the return flight back to Melbourne and thus requiring this length of time for their rest period?

No, the aircraft usually does a DPS-PER-DPS return before a red eye back to Aus, or an afternoon flight to ADL, BNE or MEL.
The crew never operate MEL-DPS-MEL in a day. Can not. Sometimes pilots do MEL-DPS-PER or ADL-DPS-PER but the cabin crew can't, their duty limits don't allow it. |
Funny that... the Cabin crew need more rest then the flight crews yeh...? :confused:
|
Aussie, need has little to do with it. It comes down to the better terms & conditions negotiators. :eek:
