You are correct some airfields want cheap ATC to maximise profit....fair enough . But we have had protection for years now from fatigue thru sratcoh. Changing that in any way will allow unsafe practices to slide in under the radar....pardon the pun.
it's a shame that the authorities who come down hard on us for breaking these rules over the years have now capitulated to allow more flexible hours , which will undoubtedly cause safety issues.
Profit should never override peoples safety...let's hope not !
