It’s harder to do that than it used to be with the FRMS acclimatization rules. Yes it’s possible, but crew would need to spend a lot of time off in hotels to be legal especially for east/west patterns like those mentioned above. They can do it, but they don’t have enough crew as it to do it continually. If they do make it permanent, I see a lot of WDO’s continuing.
