TTSOV,
qtee's advanced age may be the reason for her often "confused" state. But we do need to look after the elderly.
We did the sector as far as Adelaide and then slipped.
The other sector you mentioned is routine for us and we are legal with 1 local night if it is a 3/4 day trip.
No offense intended but domestic are doing this flying because your union agreed to undercut us in pay and conditions.
All complaints ought to be directed to the domestic FAAA.

P.S. A Longhaul collegue of mine has a doona and pillow permanently in his car.
He sleeps for an hour or two before attempting the M5 drive to Camden.
I called it, "vomiting tired". You never do get used to it.
