I used to bite my palms to stay awake. Never ever took even a cat nap with a viet pilot in d cockpit. Used to take bout 30 minutes after T/C for d average viet pilot to be sound asleep. Actually it was better to let dem sleep all d way to DXB - less trouble...
I was doin less dan 30 sec for a loo trip...
Prob is one of dese days dey wil run out of fuel while blisfully asleep... And its not without a precedent!
Cabin crew not big diff. Used to find dem tucked like sardines on d floor in d mid galley, some times six abreast... D job was just a cheap way to shop abroad for say... stolen electronics from Japan, etc.
Poor VA pax!!!

Quite surprising on such a forum,whatever the previous experiences of S266,to find these kind of remarks about another culture...I would say:quite racist aren't they??!!
