Must be the FA schedule......cause the pilot one was:

DH to IAD, layover.
Fly ADW-HNL-SYD-MEL with the same 4 pilots. 27 hours on Duty!!!!!!!

Return is planned the same, just opposite routing.....

Dumb, dumb, and more dumb re: the potential safety implications for being on duty that long......but then again that is why Management pilots are flying it.
