DFC - one of the nastiest little bits of work I have seen for some time..
"If pilots are stressed prior to flight the IAA/CAA requires them not to fly........if they ignore the IAA/CAA requirements then it is the pilot's fault........if they are dismissed as a result of not flying on safety grounds, they will have a field day in court..........provided they have the backbone to actually make that safety decision."
Even though I am not a professional pilot, I have been in such a situation myself (responsible for 20 million litres of fuel in an oil termianl) and I know what happens to people who stand up to companies over government rules and regulations.
Your attitude demonstrates that you are either absolute niave, totally stupid, or you exhiit the cynical psychopathology of Ryanaire management.
My guess is the latter.
