Judging by your comments about

"why push it when the normal 24 hr duty is to start at 1pm go home at 9pm on a bleeper and put your feet up and come back in at 7am then knock off at 1pm for 24hrs, nice and cushy..."

You haven't read CAP 371.

I think you will find that the crews are obliged to go home at certain times and then have 24 hours off after a 24 hour duty - it isn't an option its a legal requirement.
