Look, I don't think we're in disagreement that these short layovers are not ideal. They fall within a time band that is not recommended for suitable rest and it's a joke that the GCAA ever allowed it. It should be at least 30 hrs to allow for two rest periods. However, you can't put in an ASR just because you don't like it. ASR's can be proactive, I agree, but when tiredness or fatigue is an issue, there has to be evidence that these actual concerns impacted on the safety of the operation. Otherwise, use the fatigue reports if you're genuinely tired as these are the best way for the Company to collect this data.
If you're concerned about the potential threat, you can also use a Confidential Safety Report to highlight that the layovers are not long enough.
The problem is, there is nowhere near the number of reports being submitted that would require senior management to take a closer look. It's all about risk analysis and without the reports, in their eyes, there is no risk!
