Quote. ' On the one hand the commercial aims of the company require that the maximum productivity be obtained from what are very costly resources, the aircrew, and on the other hand the dictates of flight safety require that the personnel are NOT worked so hard that natural tiredness develops to a level of fatique at which they are unable to safely perform their duties and from which they cannot easily be aroused in an emergency' end quote. May be this rings a bell. Pilots, even within the FTL, can be worked to a point where fatique will start to kick in. I think there are signs within the fleet that this is about to happen, I am sorry to say. A lot of reports have been written on this subject.
