Bear with me here, current situation:
747 lift off LAX bound for NRT
200’ autopilot on.
Log on CPDLC
HF check with SFO
Systems are remotely monitored by MX
1 hr into the flight operating crew goes into rest.
Captain says it wake me up if any of these 5 things occur.
How significantly different is that from:
7X7 lift off LAX bound for NRT
200’ autopilot on
Long on CPDLC
HF check with SFO
Systems are remotely monitored by MX
1 HR into the flight crew goes into rest.
Capt says HAL2000 wake me up if any of the following 5 things occur.

Dispatch is monitoring weather.
MX is monitoring systems.
