I think O is flying them because he was told to fly them.
It would be nice if management was skilled enough to make educated conclusions by looking at trips on paper. I don't think the concepts of cumulative fatigue, body clock shift or sleep debt are known to them.
No, flying it only twice doesn't do the issue justice. He's there to give the boss ammo when it's announced they will not be changed. It will become a reserve staple. I hope crewmembers don't get more than one or two for safety's sake.
Having one of 200 or 300 CAs pick them up doesn't make them o.k. either. When he goes home he probably has an aberrant sleep pattern.
What keeps me up at night? This kind of stuff.....
