Attention all Extra Board Engineers
Effective immediately, any extra board engineer who works a shift of 10 hrs. or more, has the right to book 12 hours rest. This trial policy will run for 60 days for evaluation. The following conditions apply:
- The request for 12 hours rest must be made at the time of tie up.
- Board runarounds will not apply if an engineer behind you on the board goes out before your rest is up.
- The 12 hour rest applies if you work 10 hours or more on the previous shift.
- If you book 12 hours rest on tie up, this cannot be changed during the rest cycle.·
- The crew desk cannot shorten your rest for “manpower shortage” decisions.·
- You cannot call the crew desk later in your rest and change to a 12 hour rest.
Let me know if you encounter any problems with this policy.
Thank You,
Richard Etienne
