Augmented Duty Periods 767 w/No Rest Area
I'm surprised no gnashing of teeth over 12.D.h. I'm not on the 767, but had the misfortune of multiple ocean crossings/>8 block hr rides with no rest area in my previous life. My 2 cents, no augmented duty in the 76 without a rest area. If they wanted to use them long haul, should've acquired aircraft that were appropriately configured.

And again in the current contract they can fly augmented duty in the 75 and 76. Nothing stops them. The Feds only require a dedicated rest facility on duty over 12. The section of the TA you quote is a plus, if I am required to do it I want 36 off in between duty periods. Thank you NC. If anything this will encourage the company to keep the heat on Boeing to get their "Rest Can" approved.

A-310-300s were flying CDG-XXX (don't remember where) with an RFO years ago. No rest facility. At least you could lay on a futon on the courier area. No hot meals.
B-727/DC-8/B-747/DC-10 were all flying up to 12 BH with no rest facility or relief pilot.
