But the Company themselves said it should be 48h
I guess everybody in the Bouncy Castle "conveniently forgot" that the explanation of the Houston layover change to 48h was because of the "flight time plus TIME ZONE CHANGE" involved in the IAH operation. This was written in a letter to the pilots distributed shortly after the change was made, to save face no doubt. Sadly I did not save a copy of this mail, but I'd love to dig to up.
When LAX, SFO and SEA were published they did stay true to their words, but alas I guess they hope time has erased all memory of that promise.
For now we have a flight LONGER than SEA, and in the SAME TIMEZONE as IAH, and yet they failed to publish it as a 48h layover.
I don't know about the other pilots who seem to like the 24h given, but it upsets me just based on principal, as well as the increased fatigue of this hard to work flight.
