In the West Australian the Jetstar 787 chief pilot was quoted as saying, the engines are so quiet they will reduce pilot fatigue. That's probably why there is no crew rest installed.

Also wonder boy GT said that it was a very smooth ride through clouds because 'wing flaps' are deployed to suppress gusts. What is all that about?
