How to air crew types deal with it?

The downside being that you are always essentially jetlagged/sleep deprived

Only just got used to it and then I had to go back to LA.
Then I couldn't sleep as I suffered horrific sunburn on my back.

So much so that I had massive blisters that set off the body scanner at the airport as they were full of liquid :-(

Flight, i sleep for ages and from then on it is just my normal life. A bit of sleep here and there.

Plenty of beer and fags stops you worrying abput it.

Whereas in fact they've got their feet up and are letting autopilot take the strain while they investigate the inside of their eyelids.

Made my connecting flight with ease.

We even landed an hour later than scheduled. LAX was surprisingly empty.

Apart from when Paul Dacre is claiming best part of half a million a year in land subsidies, that is.

Is the original point valid? If so, any hypocrisy on the part of the person making it is immaterial.

I'd have shot him on the spot on aesthetic grounds, tbf, so well done the TSA chaps.

Who'd have thought a former ad man would think like that, j? ;-)
