An excellent post and exactly my thoughts on reading this case.Most passengers who land around around 0400-1000hours are being flown by pilots in exactly that state of rest who may have been able to catch a bit of sleep the previous afternoon.Then of course most of us drive home and I guess most of us have nearly fallen asleep some time both in the air and driving.Should provide some interesting industrial ammunition to force FTL changes and perhaps hotels after all night operations.I seem to remember that both Mrs.Thatcher and Mr. Churchill went long periods without any periods of what most of us would call proper sleep and just think what they were in charge of!!!.
