Virgin VS034
On the flight from Antigua to LGW on 26/12/2013, I was surprised to see a member of the cabin crew (in uniform) commandeer 4 empty seats and sleep all the way the back to UK straight after take off - stretched out across the four seats. Is this usual on Virgin? I know that longer flights have rest areas for cabin crew, but this is the first time I have seen this though I am a frequent long hail traveller.
Paxing All Over The World
Yes, it is unusual and the possible reason is: http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/5...-st-lucia.html
Could be that it was a member of that crew, who had given up their spare time to help the pax from their flight. They would then be out of their usual work/rest cycle and with the hotels all booked for Xmas the only way to get home. If no seats in the front of the plance, then that was the best option. I sit to be corrected.

I agree with TOWTEAMBASE: dead heading. My boss did the same thing after line checking me on a transatlantic flight. Nothing wrong in that at all IMHO, just keen workers.
