A certain large rail operator in Australia will do exactly that.

Then again, this certain very large rail operator thinks nothing of rostering crews upto 99.9 on that stupid FAID program, nor expecting traincrews to work well over 180 hours a month at any ungodly hour they demand...The best bit is the time off "resting" away from home..."minimum" of 7.0 hours, signoff to signing on again...And you can work upto 12 hours each way.

Then they have the gall to sack crews who make a mistake when they're tired?

Well, at least the money's good...Maybe it should be called Hazard pay instead of a salary...
