How well does he sleep with a 6 hour change in body clock?
How about doing the same thing on the way back?
How does a FDX pilot manage to get through a domestic 2-3 leg night?
(Additionally, the FDX pilot gets 6:00 pay, Delta pilots will get 7:30 pay)
We've been through this. Using other fatigue inducing examples does not justify adding more. But you knew that. By all means continue pushing your agenda with weak arguments though.
