QF Repatriation Flights Crew Duty Time

Listening to the radio a little while back I heared an interview with Alan Joyce about the repatriation flights. He said the aircraft had the crew remain on board. Now I;m gathering there must have been 2 complete crews? He said something along the lines of a tour od duty of 40 hrs

How did they keep the return crew fresh and alert for the whole trip back. Starting a 16 hr flight right after being on the aircraft for 16 hrs sounds quite daunting.

Qudos to the crews involved. First thing I thought of was the double sunrise club.

Must have been interesting getting a dispensation from CASA....."you wanna do what..................................".
