The fact is that 'cheapie' airline pilots are being worked too hard, and the operating environment allows deeply fatigued pilots to operate 'safely' much longer than they should.
Don't forget that we (professional pilots) should all have rights to live normal family lives, to pursue our interests, and to exist without constantly taking measures to tackle rosters which are leaving us tired out day after day.
I simply cannot believe that it should be right regularly to work a series of ten hour days starting early in the morning, then soon after, work long duties starting in the afternoon. Common sense, logic, and many scientists agree on this.
However, the 'share value comes first, against all odds' ethic is positively bubbling over from these operations. Management who show no interest in fatigue because the worst that the press has found out about is the night Athens crew falling asleep for a long period, may find an unpleasant wake-up call awaits.
For pilots, there is no long-term career with these, essentially cowboy, operations. That the Authority is in league with them shows how deep this cancer has spread.
