'Finest FTL in the world' - my response rhymes with the word rollocks. 900 hour is a buzz phrase for the CAA to use at will - fact is ALL of us know that fatigue is a huge issue. As SHOTONE says, its not a question of flying hours per se, its duty hours, earlies into lates into nights, positioning, longhaul/shorthaul mix - the list is endless. Yes, its what we get paid for but sheer 'professionalism' sometimes overrules commonsense and we fly when we should not - anyone who thinks otherwise, Roger Wiltshire and the CAA included is in denial.
