I agree,
flying with a fasting cockpit is NOT safe. I have seen the result of fasting enough times to know that fasting does affect the pilots judgement and performance in a negative way.
In my previous airline there was no restrictions for fasting pilots. About 90 % of the muslim pilots did fast. The performance AND safety definitly suffered, no question about that.
Only a few of the muslim pilots had the guts and right attitude to see that the safety of our passengers were more important than their own fasting.
