I appreciate that your comment is a little tongue in cheek. However when was the last time Ops crashed killing dozens of people ?
Yet that is the very reason for the existence of Flight time limitations.
I suspect there are one or two people out there who dont have enough respect for the raison d'etre of these FTL's.
I think most of us realise the very difficult jobs the folks in crewing have in fulfilling there obligations to the companies, equally I accept that the crews sometimes fail to apply the necessary co-operation to get the job done. However I don't want a crewmember on my team who is genuinely fatigued, ill or under the weather any more than I want any serious defect to the aircraft itself.
There will always be abuses on both sides and misunderstandings which dont help anybody's arguement. However the laws in respect of fatigue and particularly FTL'S should always be taken seriously by ALL parties involved in there implementation and operation.
