The other issue that everyone has missed is narrow bodies tend to have short sectors and often fly during the day when the capt is wide awake . We fly 5-7 sectors on heavy freighters most of which are back of the clock for HK crews
Landing a heavy 744 after a 12 hour flight is a very different animal to a 737 after a 2 hour flight
