What was the snake doing wearing running shoes??
Fatigue associated with number of landings has long been recognised in the UK which is why the allowable FDP reduces with the increase in sectors. However, what I can't understand is the blanket statement of '14 hours duty is unsafe'. These levels are the normal maximum limits in a number of EU countries already (please note I say the maximum limits not the normal duty days). Are we saying that German & French crews are more fatigued than their British counterparts? Don't have any figures to hand but I don't see a marked increase in fatigue related incidents by German or French airlines.
