GYE was just one of the stops.How would a Part 91 outfit staff that? 2 young bucks with controlled napping? 3 pilots but would the relief be snoring in the cabin with the pax?
That's a typical day for a lot of freight operators; supplemental carriers run up to 18 hours with a single crew, 26 hours by adding a crew member, 30 hours with a double crew...and do this regularly.
A Part 91 crew has no regulatory duty or rest or flight time limitation.
How do you know that no crew change occurred at any of the stops?
