TS,
We pilots appreciate the work you do in separating us from each other managing the traffic flows that enable the airspace to work as effectively as it does. We also appreciate that like us, you guys are pushed to the limits and experience fatigue
as gf points out:
The FAA needs to stand up to the fatigue issues here
It is despicable that the likes of Babbit cut spending and then start with rhetoric over a non event about investigating those pushed to their limits through spending cuts, those who have ignored the professionals that deal with it day in day out. The EASA FTL thread on this forum is point in case here in the EU.
There was no violation of reg, SOP or ATC advice, nor was there any conflict to the aircraft, yet careers are sought to be made standing on the faces of the pilots and quite likely a controllers who should not have been placed in a situation on duty solo and quite likely fatigued.
