WARNING - THREAD DRIFT!
Back in the days when Ms RevMan was a sandwich mechanic and my mate RWS (later to rise to the heady heights of CEO at EY) was Cargo Ops Manager in VCP, a heated discussion ensued about the logic of ripping out 12 business class seats and replacing them with a Crew Rest Cabin.
Huge loss of revenue on every flight and the people who thought it up should have been shot.
"Do you really believe, Madam" he said (they never did get on too well...)"that your husband goes on a night shift and then goes to bed for 6 hours after working for an hour?"
I'm with WHBM on this one.
It really does tick me off that service drops to RyanAir levels at night, no matter which class you're flying in.
I accept that working long-haul flights stuffs your circadian rhythm and that rest periods are justified and necessary, but at the moment, the pendulum's swinging too far away from where I'm sitting.
