I think now the "cat is out of the bag" Im long haul, and have been awake for 19 hours since leaving my hotel, ( and did not sleep that well in the hotel due jet lag/cleaners making a noise) and at the end of the flight I crash. They first say I was tired, but no I have operated to the approiate law, then they say I was drunk, no, no drink in the last 24 hours (though it may have helpt me sleep). Fact,we all need sleep at the right time. And if this person can be found guilty of not having sleep, then I suggest that everyone of us worldwide, start refusing back of the clock duties, just incase we end up in jail.
