Mr Zohan,

The point is many capts (including myself (See my first post 16)) were (are) taking three hours rest along with the operating F/O and giving the Augment pilot less (2:20), believing this the correct way to operate these flights. Eg DXB-PVG

If duty is not required to be extended by rest (most are not) then the rest should normally be split equally as suggest by the FCI. (nobody needs three hours)

Any flight (Duty) which is required to be extended by rest will be of sufficient length for all crew members to get at least three hours.

Basically rest should always be equal for three crew members on all flights.

If you as capt want to change it (reduce the rest for augment guy) on the day to increase safety (Operating crew more rested, which makes sense) then feel free to do so but it should be documented (Maybe) and should be agreed by all crew members.

Thats how I see it (today), but i'm open to being corrected.
