I sincerely hope it works out for your group
it can not be said enough that ABEX leaders
gave us support at 1224 exco when we needed it
and they were the only ones
UPS pilots sleep on their 747's
Atlas pilots sleep on their 747's
and we at k4 do to - its nice to take a 2hr break on a 7hr flt
but how about people comment with actual knowledge
these are K4 max Scheduled duty days
14 hrs - 2 pilot crew
17 hrs - 3 pilot crew
24 hrs - 4 pilot crew
rarely and I do mean RARELY does a Double crew have a duty day
in excess of 18 hrs - the reason they use 2x crew is because
the flt time is more than 12hrs
We at K4 LIKE those trips - we like them a lot - they make us lots of money
If pilots at other airlines want something different that is up to them - not me
