No sleep in 24 hours despite not working within five days, landing at YKII and then making the decision to continue working.

“If you’ve been on leave for five days before a shift, there’s nothing as an organisation we could’ve done,” said Mr Tucker, adding the pilot was aware of his roster before he went on leave.

And you see no responsibility with the pilot at all? In this example is there really anyway to actually blame anyone else other than the PIC, or is this just a default setting for you? What length will you not go to to bear a grudge with CASA or the ATSB??

Everyone makes mistakes, and I bet he's a better pilot because of it. Does that somehow mean the blame lies somewhere else? We all have to take responsibility for what we could have done better.
