READ THE FULL SENTANCE.
People were asking for the full picture and that is what I presented.
In terms of this Captains sleep deprivation status (which IS relevant to the discretion decision) the couple of an intensive 75% roster and a young child mean there is a good chance she was tired on the day.
If you have never seen one of BACXs 75% rosters, working 90 flying hours each month, you may not appreciate what that means.
Every day from Manchester ends up as a double CPH ; OSL/DUS and indeed the Glasgow Bologna that this thread relates to.
Very long four sector days in busy European airspace leave you tired during the time you are working. Like it or not if you have a young child who is not sleeping that cannot be put in a box and left outside the equation (any more than you would try to discount your own lifestyle issues).
Just in case it is not clear I'll say it again. This was written in the context of the Captains sleep deprivation status OK
The latest is that the company have decided that there is a case to answer and the Captain will be disciplined.
This could be anything from a verbal warning to the bullet. BALPA appear to have a watertight defence but it will be another week before the hearing is held.
