Thank you for your clarification Ignition Override. It certainly looks then, like this is a global problem.
In the UK we’ve had a problem for decades which was junior doctors working excessive hours. Finally, today, the regs come in that give them (and us patients) some protection. Some interesting comments in the news, mainly along the lines of “now you’re gonna have to wait longer…” but also, an administrator comments: “standards of care will be increased…”. Funny how for many many years this overwork and fatigue was apparently quite acceptable to those same authorities as regards standards of care.
The best comment from
a BBC news item was “"You wouldn't want to be in a plane flown by a pilot who hadn't slept for two days. Why would you want to be looked after by a doctor who hadn't slept for a similar period?".
To finalize, it is my view that Airline Pilot Associations, Unions, should start enlightening programs to allow the public to have access to several safety concerns we all are expressing on this thread.
We need to get on with this enlightening process don’t we?
