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?
You operation is pretty close to what they do most places overseas. I think for many you don't get an extra FO till over nine hours. If you are looking for places that use two full qualified captains you won't find many.Try asking same question on Pprune.com
