Or, a seat to eat dinner, watch a movie and a place to stretch out ?
Behind which, are two properly segregated bunks -
Its hilarious that the ‘futon in the attic’ is considered a proper pilot rest area for 20 plus hours.
N.B. - The top two photos are the ‘modern Boeing’ 787. The bottom two are the 777 under the ‘real Boeing’ management.
Two different models and hardly a third world problem? I’ve never heard of a pilot not bidding to the 78 because of the crew rest. The flight time for Sunrise is about 2 hours give or take longer than Perth London. What’s the big deal? I recall the same chicken littles running around prior to the vote incorporating 787 award conditions yet it was voted up by about 80%. Sure details will be needed to be weeded out but Sunrise could be the advantage we need that’s been usurped by subsidised ME3. That could only be a good thing.
