Thats all understood, but surely even the IAA would not challenge individuals who refuse to work due fatigue etc.

As goodworker says, that 'duty of care' is multisided i.e. yes a resonable duty to the travelling public, part of that duty is to ensure that the ATC's are not endangering themselves AND the travelling public by operating fatigued and pissed off, by doing so providing a 'false sense of security' to the operating crews and colleagues .. if you get my drift!

Re: OZ .. the situation is degenerating by the day, resignations, retirements, fatigue, morale ..... all in all, a fast track to hell in a handbag I'm afraid

The O/S recruiting effort IMHO is tantamount to throwing a handful of mud at a burst dam

Good luck with it all Lads and Lasses
