it would be nice of you to take the trouble to put my words in quotes so that people can differentiate between your words and mine. Quite confusing otherwise, don't ya think?
You say:
Every case of (claimed) fatigue has been notified PRE rest period.
You're implying that because someone has had their rest and then gone fatigued, they must be lying. Well, from personal experience, I'd say this actually comes from most pilots' strong desire to keep the show on the road. You get home knackered, but think, ok, I'll have my rest, and then I'm sure I'll be fine to fly. However, after the rest period you find you're still in no fit state to fly, which is why you get the phone call before the duty starts, not at the end of previous.
You also seem to be implying that the whole fatigue problem stems from pilots living too far away from base. Nice if it was that simple.
Generally, I'm not sure what point your actually trying to make beyond that.......
Pilots are fatigued because companies are taking the ****, and no one seems to want to listen. End of story.
