If, indeed, the unthinkable does actually occur, and fatigue is cited/identified as a contributory factor, then it will come as little comfort to those individuals directly involved to find the Cheese-Hams, etc, in the dock beside them. Why will they be there? The new offence of Corporate Manslaughter would hold responsible those senior managers who wilfully caused or allowed the situation to develop to a point where the accident became inevitable. All the messing with "banked" days off, rejected leave requests, ORO aggravation, enforced long-term long-distance commuting, staff shortages, etc, etc - it would appear that NATS management have long-since provided more than enough evidence. Still, let's still hope and pray, for the sake of those "at the sharp end" that the situation never arises.
