Emmirates work schedule?

[Rook]

.... and here I thought a nasty regional schedule is where you work five 14 hour duty days in a row flying 8 legs per day, followed by two days off, then repeat.

You're right TP. Compared to what I used to do at the regionals, that's cake.

gotta agree with TP. I came from one of the worst. These schedules right now are cake. First year FO and 14 days off plus rest days...still feels like a vacation!

A rest day is an off day prior to operating a midnight departure between 0001 to 0400. It's an off day but counted toward a duty.

Trip trading?

Don't expect EK to do things the same as they do here in the good 'ol US & A. It's not UAL, DAL or CAL.

And what would THAT be? Cancel your pensions? Force paycuts? Take you to bankruptcy court, throw out your labor contracts, and get an injunction to stop you from striking? Draconian schedules? Overworked, underpaid? Did I mention cancelled pensions? And furloughed with no end in sight?

Is THAT what you meant? Cause that's how some of these legacies have been doing to pilots in the good ol USA.

Don't forget to mention the super hot flight attendants you have the pleasure to work with at a U.S. carrier.
