There's a story in this week Flight International about the increase in alt busts and air traffic control violations (accidental) in Australia by EK.

How much of this can be put down to fatigue?

I think EK's entry requirements are way too high and is affecting the number of new pilots EK can hire. Why not look at turboprop pilots for example?

The argument that they lack jet ttime is bollocks, it's aviation exposure and experience that matter, jet or turboprop. Some turboprops are way harder to fly than a jet in any case, ie, the Q400 is a pig to fly I'm told.
