long hours mean more crashes

New Scientist (20 sept, page 10) is reporting a FAA study that shows that the probability of a crash increases 65% if a pilot operates for more than 10 hours and is 5.6 times greater if flying for more than 13 hours.

Certainly makes a mockery of this new EU FTL system with 14 hour duties. Comments?
