we are going to split the rest equally. SOs you will get the first hour and the last hour and a half!"
Most of the quote's here show Cx's very strange culture, but this quote of yours is showing how spoiled some people are.
Part of the S/O and Relief pilot duty is to provide the T/O Landing crew with the best possible rest. If this mean a sh!tty rest for the relief crew then so be it.
When I joined as an S/O I talked to my mates who operated as S/O's with various other airlines. After listening to them I expected to be burned out every flight. Great was my surprise when the Captains split the duty half / half.
As a S/O for over 3 years, and a lot of A330 to Australia I always tried to give the crew max. rest as I knew that that was what I would expect from the S/O when I move to the P/F seat.
With the 3 man ULH coming we will see more burning of the third pilot, it is industry standard, and believe me you will appreciate it when you upgrade
