I refer to L337's post on page 1 - I couldn't agree more - spot on IMHO. Increased 'productivity' on the part of flightcrew is undoubtedly leading to increased pilot fatigue. This problem is going to bite someone in the arse very hard, v soon..........Many of the excellent posts have alluded to all the positive changes (both technological and human-related) that have affected the 'industry' over recent years - I think the 'fatigue' issue will more and more act as counterbalance to all these other undoubted improvements which have contributed to increased flight safety.A Happy and SAFE New Year to you all!
PS Got home last night around 6pm after 6 days on. In bed at 10pm, woke this morning at 11am! Fatigue a problem? You decide!
