"Sorry but I consider that airline staff have an easy life."
I'll not argue that, but what is important is that this was a flight of 11? hours? The enemy is not SA, but the ennui that can degrade it. It would take Clarence Darrow to absolve this crew of the last bit of 'nonchalance'. Rest is more than being able to quickly recapture SA. It has to do with the time before and after the flight. There is no black, no white, I think, but shades of grey?
There is a larger topic in this, embracing more than the Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, or other a/c. Being always ready takes almost as many calories as being in performance?
