flap 5,

you wrote:

'it is within the flight crew limitations, it is legal and therefore you can not be tired!'.

And that is EXACTLY what my employer's crew sceduler told me YESTERDAY.

Red eye flights virually did not exist 10 years ago when I started at my airline, so the possibility was never taken into account.

I am really looking forward to some sound, scientific and impartial report on crew fatigue.

happy landings,
