Some folks have different techniques for different things but they are just that techniques...

Why don't you review the Crew Rest section on the FCCQ 2010 CD.

It discusses a variety of way on breaking up the trip and includes pros and cons for each technique...

No, it's not just technique. The part about only one PIC and that guy being in the seat for both the takeoff and the landing is written policy. That was reiterated by SD on down at a recent meeting in NRT. If this was all just a recommendation, we'd have no problem here at all.
