I'm on the 777.
All of our flights are over 12 hours.
Usually we schedule breaks like this:
If cruise time = 14 hours.
A crew do take-off and landing going, B crew do take-off and landing coming back.
Going over, B crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours, A crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours, B crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours, A crew rests for 3 & 1/2 hours. Coming back it is reversed.
My bladder can't last for more than about 3 hours anyway...
