Studying pilots\' sleep on long-haul flights

"Singapore Airlines A340-500s have a rest area for the captain just behind the cockpit. The rest area for the first officer is in the aft cargo compartment, across from the sleeping quarters for flight attendants."

Sounds typical......

Yeah I flew with a guy that actually would take credit for my landings!! That got pretty annoying.....
He'd stand in the doorway and take all he compliments while I am doing all the paperwork. Grrrrr....

Well usually on a long haul flight the F/O is younger so maybe and better chance for the mile high club membership instead with an old crusty captain....
