I tried this once, we had been in aircraft on ground in VNO for 6 hours, and gave the pax an ultimatum, we either depart in 2 hrs, to comply with FTL, or return to hotel, and take our rest. Fully corporate. phoned chief pilot, whose response was " whats the problem " (english accent). When pax did arrive exactly on the dead line, they said "whats the problem" (russian business mand accent).
So 727, you are 101% correct. except it is Discovery wings...gives you strength......
Similar with Middle East. No names here either, but same situation.
Only another 10 years then I can retire......and clean the sand from my ears.....for good....
