The issue was rest & duty time. Efficiency wasn't a consideration. Hope you sleep well in hotel rooms.
But think about how much more Rested you'll feel!
Y.G.T.B.S.M!
Somehow 117 has us laying over in NRT for 48 hours, after/before short 4 pilot, 12hr. legs, yet we can still fly LAX-Sydney or ATL-Dubai, 15 hour legs, with only 24 hr. layovers??
W. T. F??
It seems like there was no common sense applied to this thing at all!
All the 777 guys I've spoken with about the 48hr.s in NRT are in agreement, it's just going to fk us up more, body clock wise! We'll get acclimated to Tokyo time, just in time to leave and fly an all-nighter to Singapore, and then do it again, back to MSP.
All because some nitwit who shouldn't have been allowed in a cockpit, couldn't fly a stall recovery! Un-Be-Fkng-Lieveable.
