Our company has a 10 hour limit, interestingly the German LBA states 12 hours I believe.

If this guy is sat in a cell tonight I dont see how that serves the public interest at all, when that cell has a waiting list for murderers and rapists! I know which I would prefer safely locked up!

I also note from another thread in an almost identical case a United Airlines pilot was let off almost scot free after the company stood up for the pilot. Seems a little unfair that a non British citizen is given a more leniant sentance than a UK national....hmmm wonder where else this happens in the UK
