Air NZ fly up to LHR with a 3 man crew. But the rest is split evenly and they have more days off in LHR than what CX currently do... There shouldnt be any reason why rest is not to be split evenly.... As long as there is adequate time to rest at destination, it shouldnt be such a problem, only that we will be spending longer away from home. Or will it be 3 man ULR, split duty...
So we will have to watch this space and see what happens, you are correct about the zombies, only this time they will be flying...
Myself, I'm for 4 man crew everywhere
