Wait.....when did we ever not have crew rest on long haul flights over 8 (9?) hrs in the airline world?

When;

1) The plumber would get a hamburger on the overnight, and hoped for extracurricular activities with a coworker in the back

2) The FO would have a ribeye, and had extracurricular activities with 2 coworkers in the back

3) The CA had a filet mignon and hoped for a bowel movement
