not sure why he didn’t just stop in SFO, but whatever.
At EAL, we had a B727 captain doing that commute to NY. Very senior, bunched up both ends of the months, so it was basically 30 on/30 off. QF F/As knew and took care but this was before lie flat seats, etc. Guys I heard the story from said, he not of odd duck, up all night, sleep at odd hours, not top of the game sometimes. So, it was possible even 40+ years ago,
