If the fatigue rules apply equally to all, I fail to see how they would finish off anyone who does not deserve to be finished off.
To an operator doing a bit of Charter and a bit of instructing and a bit of AWK with the same body of pilots, it will be impossible to manage all the slightly different fatigue rule sets and get a reasonable utilisation out of the workforce.
To an operator based in regional areas, that's the only way to survive.
To the people living in regional Australia, piston engine charter in Barons and C206s and Chieftains is all they can afford.
...but mate you go on telling yourself you have all the answers for all the people. You obviously know best.
