Fortunately as part of the approved FTL scheme the provision exists for the individual who feels unfit for duty to utilise the fatigue provision as appropriate.
Thank you once again for your response, I am anticipating that the 4 days of rest recommended by my AME will be sufficient to allow me to recover from the roster as flown and published.

To my understanding non of the bio-mathematical sleep predictive models can handle cumulative fatigue (some not at all) so on paper you're comments are solid. I suspect also there is a lack of data specific to EK Operations which any proper FRMS would need.
