Maybe because those 2 trips are both pt 91 with duty time exceeding 16 hours. Since we don't have have ULD rules in the CBA or in our Ops specs, those trips would be a no-go for a line guy.

Wonder if they would have pressed without the catering.

Wonder if Christoph Waltz is going to play Chuck in the movie?

Must be pretty easy to be rested when you're sleeping in your own bed. Going to work at the same time all the time. No maids working when you're trying to sleep. No weird sounds from the HVAC. No "surprise" alarm beeping at you. No random phone calls when you're sleeping.
No calls from the hotel telling you the room is going to be direct billed.
No knocks from the hotel MX guys trying to work in the room.

So true. I was awakened from my afternoon nap here on a STN layover by the maids banging the wall next door with a vacuum and while making the bed! Sounded and felt like someone body slammed the wall at one point.

Some of those Brit maids look like they should be on the wrestling tour with Hulk Hogan.
