So what, you prefer the proposed solution?
So when it’s your break time as a pilot, a 3rd pilot comes into your seat, while you go back to a blocked off seat in 1st class to eat your re-heated leftovers you brought from home in the cooler next to all the Passengers?
Uh, no thanks…

Yes, truck drivers indeed work for 6-8 hours straight. Was that supposed to be a joke?

What exactly are you doing in cruise, that you can’t eat or think about anything else, that you could on your “break”, especially on a ETOPS flight with ACARS…?
Look you got into this profession, which is to fly an aircraft from point A to point B. We are a pathetic bunch if we now need augmented crews and rest bunks in narrow body aircraft.

Pilots are on "break" for the vast majority of cruise on 2+ hour flight. They just need to be available in case of emergencies which are quite rare. You can ask the other guy to take the radios while you eat (or study the panel, if necessary).
If airline managements have to augment pilot crews on transcons, you get one guess who's slice of the pie it's coming out of... hint: it's not management's slice.

Tell me you've never worked a job outside of sitting in an air conditioned flight deck without telling me you've never worked outside an air conditioned flight deck.

Please stay out of my Flight Deck! Why exactly are you a Pilot? Go back to your first Career. Geez, I can’t believe we have to deal with ……… like you.
