Raven, OK thanks. When did you leave the Airbus and which fleet did you go to? Also, if you were to use a non-euphemistic term for controlled rest, what would it be?
I find it somewhat ironic that we are all very accepting of the use of in-flight relief or leg-stretch, where the captain is in the crew rest area or a seat in the cabin, and here we are debating the pros and cons of one pilot taking a short nap at the controls to alleviate tiredness. Go figure, as our North American brethren might put it.
