In the case of pilots in Temporary Employment Regulation (ERTE) status

No non-compliance is considered as long as the operator has communicated the schedule to the crew members in sufficient time to enable them to plan their rest (ORO.FTL.110a).

If the crew member is aware of the schedule of their flights (flight activity) or of any other task assigned by the operator (activity, imaginary, bookings...) at least 14 days in advance, they can plan their pre-activity rest.

Please note that:

Is there any regulation of uptime and rest times for ground personnel accompanying aircraft?

The rules on flight time limitations and rest periods, as set out in Subpart ORO.FTL, apply to flight and cabin crew members. In addition, in cases of carriage of cargo in the passenger cabin, it is also required to be applied to cargo surveillance personnel in flight.

However, there is no specific similar legislation applicable to land workers, the labour regulations and collective agreements being applicable.

Are companies obliged to issue a certificate of hours if the worker so requests?

Yes, according to regulatory point ORO.FTL.245 (b):
‘On request, the operator shall provide copies of individual records of flight times, duty periods and rest periods:

1. the crew member concerned, and (
2. another operator, in respect of a crew member who is or becomes a crew member of the operator concerned.’

However, paragraph (a) of the same point provides that the mandatory period for the operator to keep individual records for each crew member is 24 months.
