The CAA need to wake up and sort FTL out before there are accidents which inevitably will follow from continuous fatigue, spokes people such as Wiltshire should be gagged and given some paper to push in a quiet corner some where! The airline I work for have terrible rostering practices and are not interested in the welfare of their workforce....same old story...its legal, I think both the CAA and the Airline management should be held accountable if it were shown in an accident that the "pilot error" was due to fatigue due to the outdated system we still operate to in this country, we are supposed to be amongst the world leaders in aviation....more like a laughing stock. Long term health of pilots exposed to such working practices, contiuous fatigue and stress should also be on top of everybodies list, perhaps some litigation would get everyones attention Wakey wakey CAA time to put some of our fees etc to good use to look after the UK aviation
