What are the “bad” aspects of K4?
Thanks in advance!
The bad.... hum.. the scheduling department has been in constant disarray for years.... mainly due to huge turnover and exponential growth. Work / duty rules are fairly weak. ex... my last trip of the month... was this...
CVG-NGO....14.4 hours... followed by abosolute min rest of 11 hours behind the door. Followed by NGO-HKG(4.6 hours), 6+ hour sit for cargo, then HKG-ANC(9.9 hours) all in one duty day.
Bottom line occasionally... you will do some LONG LONG days... commercial DHing is on the increase due to short staffing. more later
