It's 5 hours down and 5 hours return is a lot of time for a crew to be in 737 , also the flight leaves at 5 pm and comes back at 5 am.
Not even CM does that with all their flights to South America that are 5 hours they change crews
It's a 12hr 26min duty day for those crews. Start at 4:34p off duty by 6 the next morning. Well within our contractual limits. I'm sCO international and our duty time is 16 hours scheduled 17:30 actual. On non-stop flights scheduled over 12 hours, we may be scheduled to a maximum of the combination check-in time, scheduled flight time and debriefing time. Our actual duty time can exceed 3:30, but we cannot exceed 19 hours on duty. Our longest duty day is EWR - HKG scheduled in at 17:45 this is check-in, scheduled flight time and debriefing.
