Nobody is 'trained' to deal with fatigue, It just happens due to crap rostering. At least these days crews mostly get a rest day after a deep late. 25 years ago I was back at work 12 hours later. I lasted 4 years at Easy, it was crap. Enjoy your struggle.
You have no idea what was happening 20-25 years ago clearly. Typical.
I didn’t say better
but on the other hand many openly say they were superior in certain ways to crews of today
and no crews don’t get rest days after deep lates today (at least not in my company), rest days are allocated based on duty length (extended duties). It’s possible (and for me common) to do 2-3 back to back deep lates
ask anyone that has flown 15-20 years and if they are working harder today or 20 years ago and you’ll get one answer
