I don't believe they're required to rest. It's an 8 hour maximum flight duty per 24 hours (or something like that).Which raises the question: Why can Airline Crews " rest" on LH Flights and Amtrak Crews can't?
I don't mean why is it a rule, I mean why does this not compute? Don't most people sleep much better in a Train Sleeper than on a plane?
