Fair comment FullWings, and I regret to say I have no solution!

But this is to be expected as either we ALL work the employers schedules, or we find an alternative. One alternative might be that those pilots who can work with minimum rest (under present rules) day after day should do so. After that for the benefit of us all, we have to find a compromise as I suspect that the majority of pilots cannot SAFELY work a 24h hour repeating schedule after ULR flights without being seriously debilitated; hence a solution has to be found.
