Once again, the Tech crew claim Supremecy

It certainly isn't an isolated incident. I recall a time where we sat at the gate in AKL until 4am waiting to depart to LAX (NLH - need I say more). sio the crew took a vote and the decision was unanimous NOT to go.

That was fine until the captain insisted he could get us there in 9hrs 50 mins, well I don't know how possible this was, I do know we had a full load of Pax, but as for cargo - no idea.

Thing is, it took us nearly 11 hrs to get there, total duty time was just over 20hrs. Were we merely victims of circumstance or did we have the wool pulled over our eyes?
