kansasw,
Presume you refer to your question about ...'insulting a professional pilot on such a flimsy basis'.
I'll keep it short for others who might have a similar question.
NO (as in
zero) pilot should be 'knackered' after such a short flight...period. If they
are, clearly the profession is
not for them, and they should consider another way of making a living.
As I said previously, fatigue on this flight is a complete red herring.
Seems a few will use
any excuse for their actions.
