Dissi - it's you who's missing the point. There is an alternative to this unsuitable accommodation, which for financial reasons is not being used. The net result could (and nearly has been) an avoidable accident.

This goes against all we have learned from expensive mistakes in the past. If there was no alternative, that would be a different thing.

PS. I was involved in a similar op in the same aircraft with similar flying rates once. It was knackering despite getting plenty of rest in a 5* hotel. Last month I did 93 hours in a 744. Piece of wee wee in comparison.
