Hi Obie,
might I ask how many flight hours you've actually done in all those years?
I still hope I'm gonne make so many years of service, but I sometimes doubt it in the current conditions. I'm fit, but the body just can't take so much anymore, hence tiredness. And I know I'm not the only one.
Amount of landings might also be interesting.
I feel that there are so many study cases about tiredness with pilots, but mostly aimed at long-haul duties. Where as short-haul pilots (like me) spend the same time (or longer sometimes) a day in an aircraft doing 4 (or more) take offs and landings and also doing this multiple days in a row with minimum rest. Not many studies found about this...
