Similar measures will be taken in Europe and Middle East region. Please pilots, check the roster, if you see the mention "Termination pending" next to your name, contact your regional manager within the next 7 days.

Thank you!

"Thanks for the very good info, Tomas and Justin. Yes Florida seems like France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland.... It is strange that these important rules are not the same everywhere. Also looking at maps I see that some airways are even or odd in 1 direction which does not follow the normal rule.... n...
