Angry Pilots suspended for being too knackered to fly!

No chance of that happening is there?

When will the media catch on to the fact that the biggest risk to air safety is the fatigue level of flight crew.

How many of us have struggled to drive home from a long night flight? Yet we were considered "safe" to land a plane with 400 pax!

It is a travesty to let pilots be hung, drawn and quatered for a couple of glasses of wine in Scandanavia, whilst airline management are happy to abuse FTLs.
