- as you can see the 'absence' from the flight deck does not fit my M. O., but when I aired this eons ago on one of these threads I was informed firmly by some of the long-haul 'experts' that 'Captain's rest' is
rostered and taken as rostered in some companies which I find bizarre! We will not know the facts UNLESS the CVR is recovered and readable.
