Emirates Relief Pilots
Hello All,
United Airlines 777 F/O here.
Quick question: How does Emirates (and everyone else globally) staff their augmented flights?
At United, under 8 hours, we have 1 captain and one fully type rated captain qualified F/O.
Over 8 hours we carry a second F/O then over 12 hours, a third F/O for a total of 4 crew-members
All F/O's are type rated, fully qualified and receive the same F/O pay rate. ($130/hr)
How is it done elsewhere?
