When it's 7 hours a$$ in seat in one stretch.

As opposed to an augmented/int'l, where you can at least be OUT OF SEAT and cockpit for longer than a pee break.

I remember in my RJ days, pre 117 on leg 6 and going into a contractual max of 15.5 hour duty day going to the overnight, and in a hold waiting to get in. AS well as going into a RR.

Had a 767 CA on the JS, me and the FO remarked that we couldn't wait to get there, long day, etc. The 76 CA on the JS says "Long day? I just came in from FRA, that was long"

I turned as asked him "how much time in the rest area and how many times were you fed?"

A blank stare of confusion from him.

I know, some jackwad is gonna say "time in the rest area isn't really rest, unless you've done it you don't understand!!!" That same jackwad needs to put their a$$ back in the seat for 7+ hours all in one stretch westbound in the winter again.
