Regardless of the 90 minute thing, living East Coast USA and reporting Hong Kong you aren't going to be acclimatised in any way whatsoever.
True, but in regards to the first question, i guess management would have issues about that if they knew. And they do make every effort not to know such things. Therefore it is the responsibility of the pilot to use his rest time in a manner to increase flight safety, it might be regarded as not quite that case if he flies in from the west coast to operate an eastbound flight.
I know many companies nowadays use myidtravel or similar arrangements for staff tickets, as that is a lufthansa company it is basically outsourced to a third party and the company doesn't know where and when you fly standby, they just get the billing information later. They don't want to know how and if you shuttle.
The airline will always point at ORO.FTL.115 and thats that.
