The simple fact is that the FAA are going in the opposite direction and the results of any fatigue in the 'Euroland' system will be seen in tired pilots landing and taxying large jets around congested airfields and airspace in?????
America.
How long before the trans-atlantic pressure, quite rightly, begins to be applied?
Perhaps after a few ground collisions and a few, hopefully, near misses in the air the real world will wake up and realise that having tired people flying 200+ tonne aircraft into congested airspace is a little more difficult, tricky and dangerous than having a truck driver fall asleep at the wheel (truck drivers have more stringent safety regulations than we do now!).
