Re the sector after the red eye: they said that they are trying/have(?) put in a rule that will ensure only one sector after the red eye, with no more than 90 mins in between
I personally have never seen 2 sectors after a red eye - I did not know that was happening!
The sector after the red eye NEEDS to be scrapped altogether.. and for those who comment that its the same as a long haul flight or going out all night etc I totally disagree... a long haul overnight flight generally allows for inflight crew rest and a rest period downroute that prepares you for the flight home - plus as a long haul flight attendant you are much more accustomed to overnight flying, as it happens on most if not all trips you go on. Short haul is a totally different animal.
