Ref Twiglet 18-30 hrs rest period avoidance.
I hear what you are saying ref cat naps etc , however, the stated goal of avoiding 18-30 hr rests is in the OM-A, our legal bible and the big stick used to thwack any "naughty" pilot.
If EK believe that the 18-30 hr rests are all OK and don't fatigue unduly, why is this goal still in the OM-A? Or can we now pick and choose which bits we must obey?
It is all about consistency from my point of view and historically EK has been consistent only in bending it's own rules and using us as guinea pigs.
My own experience, some 39 years, tells me that 18-30 rests absolutely kill me regardless of what anyone says.
