Because it’s not as easy as it sounds. Have you operated under theses circumstances?
Because what you are asking is that for the 6 weeks, the crews get no access to exercise outside, no access to fresh air, little choice of dietary requirements, hours/ days of no human interaction during the 6 weeks. They will spend their time sitting in a flight deck, sitting locked up in a hotel room overseas or locked in a Quarantine hotel back in Australia. Your trying to tell me that’s not hard? Sounds easy on paper, but not so easy if you have tried it in reality. I’m not sure you would get too many volunteers signing up for these conditions.
