If you look at the way rules are applied differently to freight ops from pax ops, eg, fatigue rules, there appears to be the belief that a freighter operation is less critical. I guess the 2 pilots, being the only people on the aeroplane are not THAT important. The regulators also seem to be oblivious to the fact the freighters, generally, fly on the same airways and into the same airports as pax aircraft, yet the risk to those on the ground appears to be ignored. Once again, safety is our priority, as long as it does not cost too much!!
