No relief pilot, which is why they're in open time just about every day. Coming off the 74, though, 8 hours in the seat is easy compared to 12, so I don't notice!
The four-day Manchester trip pays rotation guarantee--the only thing that's better than getting paid while sleeping in the crew rest seat is getting paid while drinking beer in England.
