Fatigue Lead To A Fatal Error

You can not keep ignoring the DVT and UV light long term exposures factor. The fact that you are in a pressurised cabin for all that time regardless whether you are flying or not the effect is the same. You are in it.

Pilots are not supermen or immune form such occurrences nor the long term effect from these exposures.

Airlines management need to fly on a regular basis with the aircraft like the crew to see how would it feel after an ULR flight. I guarantee you they will rethink again.

Airline management in that part of the world especially were there are no unions in place to protect them will always continue to stretch the rules to suit their profit operation without due care or the impact that could have on your health.

Before you know it your layover will be considered part of your annual leave. As long as you let them get away with it they (the airlines) will continue doing it.

Airlines has no loyalty regardless of how brilliant you are or how long you have served with them. The late Captain Raad of GF airline is a classic example of the way an airline reward their employee after 30 years service.

As for an ASR reaction, the airline will only react seriously when a serious accident take place, look at the airline in turkey that recently suffered a fatal accident on one of their aircraft. I believe they fired the entire management and so they should after the loss of over 100 people.

DO NOT KID YOUR SELF FATIGUE LEAD TO A FATAL ERROR.

happy & Safe flying to all from Sybil, Polly and Manuel!
