The block is 11+37 which IMO is close enough to 12+00 to schedule a fourth "just in case". Include alert call, transport time of +45 (traffic isn't bad in Paris at 2am) and it is a very long day.
I know that there is an RFO from ANC-NRT with a 7+35 block in the winter time with the strong winds and no RFO on the same flight during the summer. Problem is...we don't seems to have a 11+35 rule for the long haul flights?
I'm just trying to encourage people to take the time to fill out a FSR if they see fit for a fatigue/safety issues, it only takes a couple of minutes and is well worth it. If the company doesn't hear about it how are the suppose to know
