It seems to me your point about cargo is a red herring - so what if these guys are doing it without bunks or business class seats? Does that make it right?
I also don't think we're neccessarily comparing like with like in terms of some of the ultra long haul, heavy crewed passenger ops we now have.
But leaving that aside, the bottom line is that we should all protect our terms and conditions. If the airline agrees to a certain level of crew rest facilities, then that's what crews should get. Nothing less.
They used to send women and children down mines - it didn't make it right.
