I presume that long haul commuting is very rare, jet lag must be an issue if only 1 day's rest.
Every time I go to Miami, New York, Chicago, Boston, Bombay, Delhi, Nairobi, Philadelphia, Lagos, Bangalore, etc. etc. I get "1 days rest." Then back to work. In truth it is less than 1 day usually, nearer 20 hours rest.
If you think 1 days rest is not enough would you mind calling Willie and asking him if we can have more time off please?
