I agree fmgc. The new proposed FTL rules from EASA will make it even more likely to be flying whilst fatigued. It is an easy matter to deal with a very rare problem than face the elephant in the room. It would cost money to sort out fatigue which would put up the price of a ticket.

The WAKE UP campaign that BALPA is running needs greater exposure.

The effects of fatigue can be far worse than the effects of alcohol on a human's capability to carry out complex tasks.

A period of 24 hours without sleep is more detrimental in this context than the effects of alcohol at the UK drink/drive limit.
