A B777 CAPT IS CONCERNED THAT THE CREW REST POLICIES ARE NOT IN THEIR MANUAL.

Narrative

DURING 3RD BREAK; TKOF PLUS 6.00; I WAS WONDERING IF THIS WAS AN ATLANTIC OR PACIFIC ACFT. IN OTHER WORDS; DID IT HAVE BUNKS INSTALLED OR NOT? WHEN I OPENED BUNKROOM DOOR; I OBSERVED NO BUNKS; BUT A PALLET OF SEVERAL BLANKETS AND A PILLOW ON THE FLOOR; LEADING ME TO SUSPECT SOMEONE ON OUR CREW HAD BEEN SLEEPING IN THERE. I ADVISED THE PURSER THAT THIS IS AGAINST REGS; AND TO PLEASE ADVISE THE REST OF THE CREW. I ALSO ADVISED HER THAT IT WAS NOT ONLY CONTRARY TO COMPANY REGS; BUT ALSO AGAINST FAR'S. ALTHOUGH I COULDN'T TELL HER IN WRITING; AS PART I DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS; NOR DO I HAVE ANY OTHER SOURCE; OTHER THAN HEARSAY; TO REFER TO. THE PURSER INFORMED ME THAT EACH PURSER PACKET CONTAINS AN INFO SHEET ON THIS SUBJECT. I OBTAINED ONE FROM THE COMPANY OFFICE UPON RETURN TO BASE; AND NOTED A REF TO FAA REGS; WITH NO SPECIFIC CHAPTER AND VERSE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING IN PART I; PINK BULLETIN EVEN; WHICH NAILS THIS DOWN; AS TO COMPANY REG AND FAR REG 91.9999; INSTEAD OF SOME SECOND HAND MIMEOGRAPHED; UNSIGNED COPY WHICH IS INSERTED INTO THE PURSER PACKET. ALMOST EVERY TIME I POINT OUT SOMETHING TO ANOTHER CREW MEMBER THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW; THE FIRST WORDS OUT OF THEIR MOUTH ARE 'I DIDN'T KNOW THAT; WHERE IS THAT WRITTEN?' RIGHT NOW; I DON'T; EITHER. SIGNED; 'WISH I KNEW.'
