So all the other airlines that have this kind of flying, manage to have people do it as little or as often that they like are all just ticking timebombs because of the lack of safety with that method? Stop drinking the blue juice bro. It’s strictly cost savings. Ask any DL 75/76 pilot if they can fly to the west cost and the caribbean for months on end and then bid one europe trip every once in a while. It’s strictly cost savings, at the expense of QOL and health of the crew, nothing else.
