I watched the program and couldn't help noticing that everyone was blaming everyone else! The plain fact of the matter is that he and his co-pilot made too many assumptions for what was a flight with few emergency/WX diversion options available. They did it fatigued, ill informed and with all the discipline of a crew with no experience on trans oceanic flights. They as the crew and ultimately he as the PIC, should have done what was right, not what they could get away with or what was easy or even legal. Citing CASA as a causal factor because they didn't impose more rules on them is a woefully inadequate excuse, you are the PIC for gods sake, act like one

Thou shalt not run out of fuel!
