Reading this thread with interest;I detect a little sanctimony,from JBC et al.
Youre happy to prevent people driving/travelling long distance,BEFORE they report,but OK with the concept,of the same journey home,AFTER a duty?
Imagine how you feel after a 12 hr LH sector,or a long 4 sector day,what then??Stay another night at LHR/LGW??Then refreshed drive home for a soomewhat reduced rest??
Tiredness does kill,but is death on the way home after a CAP 371 day,or indeed a company "approved" day,acceptable??
Your argument works BOTH ways,and most employers,are happy with the one way version,as are you,perhaps.
Turn up RESTED,go home,best you can,youve raised an important point,but dont berate people who cannot lead the life you do,turning up unfit,is irresponsible.Full stop.
