and im not disagreeing with you!
Its a complex topic!
Of course responsibility lies with the pilot as well. Getting back to the topic of the thread, for a manager of any kind to send that sort of email to the troops is pretty ordinary to say the least. Clearly that particular pairing has been flagged as an "issue" for multiple crews to have illicited that sort of a response from a base manager. If CASA were worth their salt they would be AT LEAST looking into these things that are popping up because of a Senate inquiry, as pilot fatigue is as big a risk as making sure an operators AOC has been printed on the right gsm paper.
