AA PHL to FRA no. of pilots / crew rest (to merge)
Hi there!

I did a search but could not find the information I was looking for (maybe because of the search terms?).

I flew PHL to FRA (AA700) the other day. The flight was operated by an Airbus 330-200. Right after takeoff, one of the pilots left the cockpit, settled in 5A right behind me and had a nap. When I got up shortly before arrival in FRA, another pilot removed the crew rest curtains in 5A and went back to the cockpit. So I assume there were 3 pilots on duty this flight. Is this standard for AA on this route? At least on BA and LH I always only had two pilots on flights to the northern East Coast cities (e.g. BOS, NYC, PHL). Just curious how this works.

Cheers,
totti
