Well, what you are coming out with now does sound like you are using the flight safety rules to try to justify your unwillingness to suck it up and get on with the job and stop wingeing. The RAF has had it so good for so long that you don't know the standards which the more senior services have always put up and proved to be safely sustainable. Just shows how much fat their still is to be trimmed from the bulging growbag that is the RAF.

This "I cannot fly unless I have slept in a feather bed in perfect silence" is where the whole crew duty RAF b@llocks falls apart. Unless you have regularly flown fatigued during exercises, training etc, how do you know your own limits? And should the first time you get tired be on operations?

Just my humble opinion.
