The thing about all of this is that just because another airline does it, it doesn't make it right. Reducing crew complements on a longhaul operation does nothing other than reduce safety margins (oh, and reduce costs)and I guess that if the powers that be are happy with that then I will have to live with it. Yes I admit there has been the odd occasion where I have stepped off a daytime longhaul and not felt tired, but shouldn't that be the goal? Unfortunately it seems that we have to squeeze that lemon just a little more until we really are in coffin corner but of course safety is our number one priority so it has nothing to do with economics right? It is blatant, it is obvious and it is decided by people not experiencing it on a regular basis if at all.
