Bonus points: they'll also be sure to tell me all about their 80 acre ranch, rental properties, boat, airplane, new house they just built, and show me n00dz of their hot, totally in it for the love, girlfriend and then tell me how lucky I am because starting pay in 1990 was $3.50 and they NEED more money for retirement.
A lot of foreign airlines allow one pilot at a time nap at cruise. Maybe that is what the U.S. should allow in conjunction to raising the retirement age? btw, I see a lot of head nods from my younger FOs in the middle of the afternoon too.
