"Devil, you should perhaps advertise a seminar on the implications and neuro-physiological impact of EMS flight scheduling and CRM. Let me know how it goes."
No dice on the seminar. I've tried to sell changes to guys who proclaim that they're "not gonna let the job kill them" and then show up for night duty proclaiming that they've had no sleep... Thanks, Ace, for sharing that- do I get you fired by not allowing you to relieve me or hope that tonight is as slack as most???
My assessment is that a major reason that nights are 4 times as dangerous as days has to do with increased error at night, some of which may be reasonably attributed to a stupid approach to schedules.
It's interesting that Iowa crash was new to EMS and wasn't a local.
