Jammed old chap, I made my comment on jail based on what she did. Go and find that out and you'll see what I'm on about. I don't have a problem with pilots commuting a sector or two on their days off.
In my country it is a legal requirement that you be adequately rested before flight. That does not mean paxing (or driving) at all hours of the night to get to work! Why should you be allowed to pax back from a holiday and not have exactly the same time free of duty afterward before working as you would have had if that pax ride had been duty travel, considering the time zones?
