What sort of message are you giving to your workers if you are expecting them to go over 24 hours without the opportunity for proper sleep, but then expecting them to go straight from the airport to work all day, and then fly back without the chance to have any sleep, or even to have a shower and change of clothing?
I think very few people would be in a fit state to work after that schedule, and definitely not be fully productive.

I agree if you are expecting your employees to do it in Y, you should also do Y.. but 48 hours of flying in ~60ish hours is absurd even in F or J and unfathomable in Y. I think if you are expecting everyone to do this, you should reconsider the travel policy.
