You could not be more incorrect about this. I can't tell you how many times I've flown the late Europe departures completely wiped out and exhausted during the approach. The augmented crew and first class rest seat makes all the difference now for all pilots.
Hopefully you will believe me, I have some credibility on this flying 5-6 European crossings a month. This contract change makes the operation safer, particularly the eastbound legs.
