We do more hours but sitting in the cockpit is not the draining part. I've done 500 hours since April 1st and if I'm tired it's because of commuting, not flying.
Mikehotel152, for sure commuting makes things even tougher, with 5/3 you dont have a life anymore basically, but I feel REALLY TIRED after a set of 5 earlies: 35+ hours of flight time, nobody knows how many of duty.
TIREDNESS is an issue! Even with no commuting! And tiredness is a cause of incident, not only the ones you stated.
Haven't we got more pressing issues than fatigue to be mad about in FR?
I agree, but duty time has to be sorted as well. The bloody - 45 mins report time could be a starting point
