Augmented Crews
Hi all,
Which airlines as a standard SOP, augment the crew with an extra captain on long haul flights and not with an extra first officer?
Cheers

It may well depend on the length, in time, of the flight. I have worked for an operator who, for up to ten hours would crew one captain and two FOs and flights over ten but less than twelve hours it would be two captains and one FO. Anything over twelve hours a double crew. Our FOs were not left seat cleared.
