Pilots hours
The last few posts are excellent by people who clearly understand what the problems are in the the airline industry.
So many accidents are put down to crew error and lets do another CRM course. The real problem is that tired crew members make poor decisions under stress. That can be at any time of day if you have been issued with a roster that demands too much from the average human being.
Pilots and crew are not superman or wonderwoman.
It should not be normal to work 7 days in a row with a chaotic roster. The public deserve better. It is unacceptable to be DRUNK in charge of an aircraft but being overworked can have the same effect and is approved of by the law.
