Spoke to a CSM recently who had been 'told' by ops that his sign off time was 15 minutes after on chocks despite the fact the door didn't open for another 20 minutes and the last pax didn't disembark for another 30 minutes after that (issues with stairs, wheel chairs, etc). He queried it nicely a few times indicating that due to the 'min rest' slip his departure time the next morning needed to slide to the right and eventually called the manager who sorted it out. I encouraged him to write to Sen X and let him know that despite the fact that AJ and BB talk about there being no coercion regarding fatigue that the lower level certainly don't get the message and that fatigue is something that can be argued away on the basis of blox time rather than what time crew actually finish work. I also encouraged him to include the concerns he raised that he had no confidence in CASA dealing with the situation appropriately and that Sen X was the only person with the clout at the moment to deal with the information appropriately!
