Long-haul turn around crewing...........

Hi folks - just a quick question out of interest really...

I recently took FCA to Cayo Coco from MAN (great flights by the way, thanks all!) and I think I'm right in saying that these are weekly (saturday's) if not fornightly journeys, with the a/c returning to MAN on the same day as it arrived - both times with pax.

So... Given that it's a 10-hour flight, the outbound crew can't possibly staff the a/c on the inbound - that would be over 20 hours graft. And given that these are weekly flights, surely the outbound crew can't be based in Cuba for a whole seven days waiting for their return.

Do the crew for the inbound flight go out to CCC on the outbound and staff the return journey?

Hope that all makes some kind of sense!!

Cheers all
