"Well at least they're standing up for what they care about, should they just give it up 747-8"
Not sure what you mean by give it up - do they currently have the right to determine crewing patterns? If so my apologies they shouldn't give that up. Is that what you meant?
Regarding outport rest didn't you know the majority of the CC, with a few notable exceptions, will sleep for the entire slip just waking up now and again to eat the food they brought with them. Seems to me 24 hours sleep is more than enough rest to perform any subsequent duty in an exemplary manner.
