I dare say 99% of pilots at EK have headed off on flights with far far less sleep than they would have preferred for one reason or another and probably on many occassions as well.
99.9% of Emirates pilots would have still gone to work in Melbourne, a downroute station, under similar circumstances
Are you trying to say that 99.9% of EK's pilots would fly with only 3.5 hours of rest within 24 hours (especially after 99h/month)? This is a totally insane statement, as it is unacceptable should it be true or BS.
