What the
So this village idiot thinks that during a daytime standby I should sleep so that I can operate safely due to having rested all day.
What if I am not called out.
I am then on standby the next day having not rested well due to having rested all day. I hope I don't get called out as I have had a terrible night of sleep and feel very tired.
The rules on sby are somewhat different in many EU countries than the UK. CAP371 allows similar such "worst case" scenarios also so its nothing new.
FYI in Germany for example they had 24hr standby duties and this was one of the areas that caused most discussion by the "village idiots"
