so 411A, you advocate that pilots should be fatigued and if they dont like it to foxtrot oscar ?
Yup, and here is one of the reasons why...

Airlines' entry into the European Union's carbon market next year will add at least EUR€1 billion to their costs, make some operators less competitive and ultimately lead to higher air fares.
From January 1 2012, around 4,000 aircraft operators will be included in the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Most flights that land and depart from EU airports will be covered, regardless of the operator's nationality.
The airlines will join around 11,000 factories and power plants whose emissions are currently capped under the ETS, forcing them to buy permits to cover emissions above the caps.
Aviation is responsible for around 3 percent of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions, and its levels are growing at a faster rate than those of any other sector.
The cost of joining the scheme will be between EUR€1 billion (USD$1.4 billion) and EUR€1.4 billion in 2012, analysts estimate, rising to EUR€7 billion in 2020.
Lufthansa, Europe's second-biggest airline, expects the ETS to cost it an extra EUR€350 million a year from 2012, rising each year after that.
"Airlines do have a big challenge," said Peter Sharratt, global director for energy and sustainability at consultancy WSP Environment & Energy.
"It is extremely likely that the cost of airlines' carbon allowances will be passed onto customers."
--Airwise
Airline shareholders won't pay for the added costs, passengers will.
Higher fares, airlines will
demand more productivity from pilots.
Economics 101.
In short, IF you don't like it...find another job.
Airlines could care less...they will simply hire new pilots, under P2F contracts.
The writing is on the wall for those smart enough to read it.
