"Sleepy Pilot"

No nothing to do with fatigue whatsoever. The Captain wasn't fit!! The DGCA are onto it though. They are now requiring all expats flying on a validation to sit the military medical, twice per year on top of their normal medical.

One should be fit enough to endure fatigue!!!

I am of the opinion incapacitation training covering these scenarios would be time and money better spent.
