Working time directive (in terms of crew scheduling etc)?
Equal opportunity legislation ?
Cabotage rules ?
Chapter 11 legislation ?
Thanks for your reply, I've already discussed many of these in my literature review.
Does the Working Time Directive apply to airlines? It doesn't apply to hospitality as staff can sign a consent saying that they will work more than 48 hours. Do Airlines do the same thing?
My questions are looking more for personal opinion and experiences, I do have a set interview question form if anyone would be willing to answer, just drop me a PM with your email and I can send more info.
