The period just after 9/11 was rough on us all. For example, the Hazo stall at Bathurst happened after the crew were duty for a long long time with only a sandwich many hours before the incident.

While these managers should be strung up it should be noted that our CAO 48 states, " A pilot shall not fly and an operator shall not roster him or her to fly in excess..." so both parties have the responsibility.

What was the Captain doing :

Christ if you're tired just stand down.
