No black helicopters about the weight question when entering the medical. It was there before the false input person too.

The MD-11 Crew Rest Module bunk is limited to 289 pounds. In a few of the planes there are placards with this on it. The company will remove a pilot who enters over 289 when on flights over 12 hours which requires 4 crew members and a class 1 sleep facility. The MD-11 no longer has any over 12 hour routes (used to have some continental USA / Japan routes which were over 12).

For flights under 12 hours, a class 1 sleep facility isn't required, and the RFO seat on the flight deck or the reclining seats in the courier area are suitable rest facilities and don't have that weight limitation.

Does the 777 bunk have a similar restriction?
