In the world of FAR 117 and regulated inflight rest, how can an airline get away with not having scheduled flying and IRO positions. You're going to blast off on a 12+ hour flight departing around midnight and you don't know if you'll be in the bunk or flying seat for the first half? Crazy that's allowed.
