I do know that at least one outfit a handful of years back management started to look hard at what some of the commuting by air cohort were doing and as a result guidance
was issued, in some cases warnings were given and in at least one extreme case sanctions were applied.
Yes sure the LH guys at your airline has commuters from France etc and apparently Sydney, but its a very small number of pilots compared to the general population. Whereas in the States it is much more common. The point I was trying to make was that Lake's scenario was based on a LH pilot, whereas the fatigue in question was on SH rosters.
