Name and shame this MEP. He obviously has no clue on how our lives work

I for one do not sleep easily during the day. Especially if I have been getting up at 9am the previous three days for midday check ins to the TFS, PMIs and DLMs etc. Only to report for an 8pm night DLM on day four. I'll naturally wake up at 9am, get little sleep then work throughout the night. Not easy and 'controlled rest' is often necessary. And this was under our [old] FTLs.

Perhaps we should set up a scientific experiment for these "men in power".

Basically have them do a normal days work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Then on Saturday tell them you have free reign to do as you please but you must report to us at 8pm for extra curricular activities. Sit them at a MS simulator and tell them to sit there for another 9 hours whilst it does a DLM and back while we engage in light conversation with the occasional simulated freq change. I wonder how much they'll like it?
