A few nights ago I was positioned back to my home base in an aircraft after a long multi-sector duty involving a diversion. The off duty time was a little before sunrise, having been on duty since lunchtime the previous day. The whole crew protested at the scenario on the basis of fatigue and the likelyhood of facing a drive home in the fog. Crewing's response: I can position you anywhere in the world after a flight duty. There is no limit on positioning.

The problem is that crewing work to CAP 371. The have no interest in the safety of the individual, only the legality. As far as I am concerned, the employer has a duty of care under the Health and Safety regulations and it is this that should be addressed.
