As with my comments on the ATC Wake Vortex thread, are you filing an ASR when the roster 'finishes you off'? I know of 2 UK airlines where ASRs are now being filed due to roster disruption allegedly causing adverse physical effects.

Pilots always whinge - I do - but until paperwork is raised - MOR if you feel it necessary, you cannot expect the CAA to do anything.

As for CHIRP - as I understand it, it has no 'powers' to act, but merely to flag up and follow issues raised with it. From 'Dream Buster'
Moreover and perhaps of more significance, is that on the basis of reports received through this Programme, most UK AOC Holders, including those who operate a similar mix of routes, appear to be able to operate more closely in compliance with their overall responsibilities, as set out in CAP 371.

This is a matter that CAA (SRG) might wish to consider.

The answer is pathetic, useless and not likely to change anything!
Does not the red suggest that the blue is wrong? (NB My emphasis)

If the CAA appear to be 'asleep', maybe they need to be woken up?
