It is unrealistic to conclude that by simply adding more "rest" hours between flights that the problem of "fatigue" would be eliminated or even reduced. The company cannot control how those extra hours would be spent by crew members. The company cannot impose a lights- out curfew on a crew member. I expect that most crew members would enjoy the extra hours but would continue to play it close as they do today and that there would be no reduction of the incidents of so-called "fatigue." Self-discipline is what is required.
