Sleep on the job

With the Dreamliner leaving for London this evening, being a 17 hour journey, rests are important. This flight will have 2 captains, a first officer and a second officer. This web site shows the crew sleeping areas.

 Mate of mine is a Captain for QANTAS and they asked him if he was interested in the gig and basically said no, retraining and that goes with it. He's done LA to Sydney long hauls and reckons they suck lol. He loves his Sydney/Mebourne or Melbourne/Perth gig on the A330's. Some pilots have jet stream comps to see who can get the fastest air speed lol.

 Yeah Andy, I reckon the long hauls would be good for the first few times, but it will piss you off after that.
