Mine are armchair operations, I take naps very often. But I don't have 150 plus passengers who rely on me for their safety.
20-30 minute nap on an 4.5 hour sector wouldnt affect the safety or operation of the aircraft
It does effect the safety of operations else the nap would have been in the SOP for long medium haul operations.
As I have told you, If I am taking a nap I have no clue what my f/o is doing, when he fainted on the controls. There will be pilot flying, but no pilot monitoring.
A sleeping pilot is an absent pilot.
If you try to answer this you will hopefully agree with me:
If one pilot is sleeping will you prefer the other to wear the oxygen mask or not?
And here is a news sotry, to prove that certain actions may be safe in certain conditions and fatal in others..
