peer agreement (net): +1shift transportation Explanation: I'm not entirely sure of how good that translation is, but I used to be involved in the very thing. I worked 28 days on/28 days off at an oil field. The 28 days on was my вахта. It clearly comes from the German, but вахта means "shift", in this case. |

charter flight Explanation: Да, полагаю, что это именно чартерные рейсы, ведь они всегда не по обычному графику летают, а только в сезон большой нагрузки и т.д. |
