Just a question but how can the Captain be blamed if something goes wrong, if he is complying with his legal requirement for rest in the allocated area of the CRC?
Let us say that for arguement's sake that he aircraft depressurises between Urumqi and Kashi . He physically cannot make it back to the cockpit without the need for supplemental O-two. So what do you do? Blame the guy? He can't be held legally responsible for an incident by following a company mandated requirement for rest. I just don't see how he could be.
On a different tangent here, but those Depress. strategies need to be worded better. I believe an ASR was filed recently because they were "confusing".
