Why is that? Low demand?
- olefoo 11y agoAlso safety reasons. It is most people's metabolic low point, where mental functioning is quantifiably impaired. So, good idea not to be doing landings and takeoffs during that time.
- leephillips 11y agoBut a pilot working at 3am is not "most people", and, presumably, would be on a very different metabolic schedule, no?
- marme 11y agocombination of low demand and the fact that for an airlines to have only a single flight at this time it means keeping desk and gate staff for only 1 or 2 flights that probably wont ever be full except peak travel season
