And it was said to a) highlight the differences and b) say how good it was in comparison and c) was after a few sectors, not years. I wouldn't take it too seriously - I'm quite confident in saying it's just as easy to f&^*k up in short haul as it is in long haul
My comments on sleeping are 100% accurate though. And there is nothing like that horrid, wanting to throw up 4am body clock feeling staring into the sun when you haven't slept properly in 24 hours. I don't think the windows of a 76 or 73 make all that much difference to a 74's. All (and everything) is awful in that 'mode'. And why is it that you always get that 'late' change in weather, sick pax or mysteriously trapped fuel when you seem to feel worst??
