My guess is, a few too many Wild Turkeys late at night, plus access to the Internet...and there you have it.

Simple solutions are preferred most of the time. Sunrise at 7z, not so much. Grab the conn while I recharge a low battery, only takes 40 mins or so?

If you’re accustomed to long leg, un-augmented routes, typically pushing back body clock backwards, lapsing into involuntary zone outs is inevitable. Headline making hanky panky forward of the door (letting unassigned seat warmers buckle in) draws an already narrowed focus on unforced flight deck errors into cockpit cam proposals, debate. That’s all I have to offer. Feel free to toss it out the window closet. 2cents.
Long trans con legs can be fatiguing and difficult to maintain focus throughout the entirety of a flight, which is one of several reasons why I'm against cameras in the flight deck. The news headlines when footage of pilots falling asleep leaks to the press would only add to the issue of pilots being under the microscope for public scrutiny.

North Atlantic less than 8, SA same. HNL and a host of others. Forum jive readily decoded by those familiar. Innocuous if not innocent to those unaware.
Filming coach at controls on a revenue leg, wtf. 5x5 now?

JFK-EDI and BOS-LGW are also unaugmented with normal ~24 hour overnights but their depature time day 3 do not fall into the red-eye period on the East coast.
LHR,CDG,AMS, JFK-LGW are all 3 pilot because the departure time is in the red-eye period or due to the length of the flight (or both).
