That's 105 working days and 260 days off per year. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Any companies out there distinguish between night and day totals for duty?
I find it strange why fatigue is not linked to night flying. Yes, total hours change depending upon check-in time, but that does not account for shorter days during winter, for example? |
Not so much night flying but the amount of hours in a duty is governed by the time you "clock on".
|
That's my point - if we are serious about "fatigue" then why does night manoeuvring eat up the same 'duty' as AP-in day cruise?
All the safety wisdom clearly states night operations as more stressful - therefore more fatiguing......and yet no differentiation is made. The FTDL considers circadian rythems etc but not the obvious, imho. |
As long as NPAS are allowed to work the dangerous 3/3/3 shift system......:ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:
|
What dangerous 3/3/3 system is that?
What NPAS units are working it? |
