About the 757-200 I think we will go for it, and just send second crew to mid point 2 days in advance and change there, will do the same on the way back..instead of carrying duble crew onboard all the time ...
About the BBJ, still I'm not sure if we can actualy carry more than a cuple of little bags. The guy at Boing is working on it ... and at the end it will be much cheaper to get a used 75 and more room

"The first available slot for either the BBJ, BBJ2 or BBJ3 is 2011." Hill says Boeing is continuing to look at the BBJC, which has a side cargo door, following strong interest from governments. But launch of the 737-600, a direct competitor to the Airbus A318 Elite, is unlikely for the time being, he says, due to the lack of production slots. "We are having to turn away sales," says Hill.
Nearly half the aircraft sold by Boeing last year were widebodies, including the 747-8 and 787-8/9, mainly to customers seeking to upgrade ageing 747s. "We have seven orders for the 787-8/9 and have sold out until 2014.
So... no new build slots for BBJ.
If used 757 has sufficient range and room, it does everything that BBJ could, and more.
Just how specific are the requirements for a crew rest, anyway?
Compare what can be done on a 707-330:

counting up to fourth bedroom. If you have children and nannies... can a crew rest be given to passengers when not needed?
