PH - I can recall too many people who seemed to regard flying, and particularly flying for the company that paid their salaries, as a challenge to be avoided at all costs. One wonders how much time certain individuals have on their hands when they can quote the company manual, CAP371 & the ANO in chapter & verse at any opportunity.
I also recall other individuals (thankfully in the majority) who were courteous, respectful & accommodating to the extreme, for who flying was still the magical experience that it was when they first took to the skies.
The debate here centres around what crew should be rested for prior to reporting for a duty. Unfortunately the wording does state "Rested for duty" and not "Rested for FDP." Until this is changed then the crew room duty change will always have the element of uncertainty. I believe that the Oxford English Dictionary gives CAP371 as a defination of Ambiguity!
