Cartexchange, I never said AKL-LAX wasn't a night sector, what I said was that it wasn't a LONG RANGE sector and hence does not require horizontal rest.
I guess it could end up being more than 14hrs TOD on the A330 depending on the time of year, but my point was that out of the 4 sectors involved in the dispensation, there was only one NIGHT sector that needed horizontal rest due to it being LONG RANGE.
There are plenty of long night sectors that are not long range and don't require horizontal rest, eg. HNL-SYD (Yeah I know, not anymore, but that's how I remember it), BOM-SYD, FRA-SIN.
