Over 8 hours in the seat with no rest is way too much...
Keep on dreaming...

Considering he's 99% either based in HK or Australia ( they don't sensibly roster to normal body clocks), he probably didnt sleep for the whole day, and was shagged anyway. In my Opinion, he should have just refused.
Shagged anyway?
Does NOT belong at the pointy end, considering proper rest was originally scheduled.
HOTAC is designed for rest...not shagging until your eyes are crossed.
Contrary to popular opinion.

A wake up call is needed for such crew that think they can get away with just...any old ideas.
Shape up...or ship out.
I'm sure the airline won't care.
