Long flight bonus

[poden]

You actually DO get the long flight bonus whether you use time acceleration or not, and you get credit for the simulated flight time, not the
real-world clock time. The simulated flight time is what's added to the pilots total hours as well. So this problem has nothing to do with using
acceleration, as Marc has pretty much already noted. It must be pretty much the presence of the "few moments."

The peak altitude was above 12,000 feet, so that may have had something to do with it allright. The "zero sandwitch, zero food, zero drink" just means
the inflight service was turned off, meaning it also had no effect, since there was also no indication the passengers were hungry.

My best guess is that due to barometric pressure changes and/or turbulence, the altitude did indeed briefly go above 12,000 feet, but not long enough
for an in-flight "complaint" to be logged. If the Flight cruise altitude was just below 12,000 feet, that would make this theory more likely.
