And let me guess... the FA's are already at critical mass, ready to go nuclear, and will demand "parity" on this issue.
I like our FA's and we get along fine, but rest requirements are very different. I mentioned before, I just had a 10 hour dhd to GRU, with maybe 9 hours on the ground, to work a GRU-JFK leg.
They originally had me in coach, to then sleep at the downtown hotel, which is a 1.5 hour ride. I switched the hotel to the short layover, then begged the agent for a decent seat. She came through; if she hadn't, I suspect I'd have been fatigued.
