Having never flown long before I was just wondering what the legalities are when the only commander is in crew rest when something occurs.
The reason I posed the question here was because in a recent breakfast conversation with commanders from various airline backgrounds, nobody could actually pin down a precise answer. No one had a clear understanding of the legal implications of crew rest.
Thanks for taking the time to answer with maturity and intelligence guys. I forgot how cynical the bitter and twisted harbor dwellers really are.
