And, for the Fa, a tour of duty of 36-40 consecutive hrs?
A surgical residency, perhaps?
That is the key. You started a thread about something you were told by someone else about a topic where you do not know the rules.
What you are referring to, if it has been accurately portrayed by the friends, is entirely common and I cannot think of why any civil aviation authority would require a hotel as opposed to a bed on an aircraft.
Whether the work conditions are what one would desire is a different issue and that of course is a matter for the employees to deal with.
