wow...these BR crew and their union are really too much I feel.
28 hrs layover for a TPAC flight is more than enough.
The crew also get to sleep for quite a few hours (3+ at least) during the flight.
It is not like they are working through the entire 12 hour or whatever flight.
They are supposed to be working, not on vacation.

UA crew has a SFO-HNL/OGG turnaround flight that is about 5.5 hrs each way!
That is like working a Transpac flight with no rest other than the 30 min+ break in between the flights.
It is super rough at the end of it all but it is still doable.
Really...complaining about no layover on a 3.5hr each way flight...

Personally, I think BR crew just want more money and kinda spoilt.
The layovers give them more per diem as well and add to their work time so they get paid a lot more.

i'm ranting away but some people really dont know how good they have it.
