Agree with Tony here.

Someone i know gets up at 6am do all those Collierville things. Goes to bed early and tosses and turns and can't sleep until about 1am. Then gets up and flys 7 hours to Anchorage with a fellow Memphisite who has had the same day.

Commuting an a passenger jet sounds pretty restful to me.

On the other hand as a 777 Captain I send out an email with a rest/work schedule for the long haul flights.

On a 4 man crew I expect two of us to show up fatigued so that they can sleep through the noise and the turbulence for the first 4 hours and wake up rested to replace the other two.

I think with a little bit of lawyering these two will get paid
