From LHR, this should not be an issue but I note that JFK has been mentioned and I wondered if they were on the last leg of a B2B (I'm out of it now and things may be different.
I mention this just to try and point out something that one could easily overlook. Having rest periods and being able to get sleep are not the same thing. This does not excuse lacadical take-it-or leave-it service.
Glad you agree. Almmost all Intercontinental flights from mid esat, far east, Indian subcontinent take off at awful hours after midnight. We do not see these crews being so uncaring. I understand jet lag plays havoc with sleep patterns, but them are the breaks. All jobs (most !) have some quirks. If you accept it willfully then you must provide the services agreed upon. ( I speak from experience several such flights and a job from midnight to 8 AM many moons ago.)
