The fault again points back to CAA and ancient duty time regulations. Crewings reply "it is legal" shows that there is no corrolation between rules and rality. I do an Egyps with 14:15 duty coming back at 04:00 in the morning and then 22 hours later start at 02:00 in the morning. How is my body clock supposed to adjust to that, and this is done twice or more per week in the summer season!! Yes, it is legal by CAP 371 standard, but several studies around the world has shown that this is the worst you can do to any person( and this is usually followed by a non-precision approach into UK airfield due to runway work!!). I feel very confident in the CAA when they say that we have the "Best duty regulations in the world". Safe to say behind a desk. When will CAA, BALPA and general public see that this is not safe ? hopefully before someting serious happens. Off to bed for another Egypt tomorrow
