Got to thinking about this from some posts in another thread. As I understand it for flights over 8 hours there has to be a third pilot. Where is the cutoff where the 4th pilot is required? Also, why the need for 2 CA and 2 FO's? Why not 1 CA and 3 FO's? When I jumpseated to BOM, the first Captain I introduced myself to told me that he was "A". I'm assuming he was the senior CA.
