Oooops, hope you don't think I was having a go, I wasn't honest.
Yes is the answer to Days/Nights, and no, I have never been able to sleep on demand.
Just cannot see how the changes will reduce fatigue.
It may increase the number of crews smaller carriers require, in particular doing away with local time FDP starting from the continent. Good news for any unemployed Aircrew, and not against it in anyway, but the fares will have to go up....
In moving the early start time away from base to be in line with base, may just be counter productive. Smaller, tighter crewed outfits, may be forced into rostering E/L blocks of duties, inducing sleep probs.
Just input, nothing more, Fatigue must be taken seriusly, I include it in the only target we must achieve 100% on....SAFTEY
It could just be penalising responsible carriers.
Fly safe
