Nope not all. Most EU/UK - USA are day / night rotations but there are others e.g. freight night / day rotations where crews have 24-30hrs rest. They arrive have a few hours kip, get up then have a full EU/UK local night rest then an immediate departure.
For MXP-JFK 10.30 + FDP clearly ATA have loads of money to buy new A350 and a nice shiny colour scheme but not have gone low cost on the manning level.
