I never understood how the factory lets the customer get away with this, or why the authorities let these awesome birds fly 13 hours with no rest area...
Crew rest area is an available interior configuration on the G-650's. Ours is configured this way. Most of the 650's I've seen also are configured for crew rest. GS can't make it mandatory as there are obvious missions where there isn't a need for a crew rest area.
