They have two sets of pilots for that?
No idea what hours of service rules they have but on the railroad you can't turn a wheel after being on duty for 12 hours.
Note that is on duty time. You might wait 2-3 hours for your train to show up.

Most likely 6 pilots onboard. 8 hours of flight time is the rule.
Longest flight I’ve ever been on was Seoul to DFW 13.5 hours. I slept 11 of them.

Longest single flight - 12.5 hours Minneapolis to Tokyo.
Add the 3 hours from Houston to Minneapolis, 6.5 hours from Tokyo to Bangkok and then a 2 hour car ride to Pattaya + all the layovers. Kick your a**. Did this every 3 weeks for the better part of 2 years. With the 12 hour time difference, it took me over a month to kick the Ambien when I was done.
