You need to comment on 100% pleases reply!!!
Crew members responsibilities
Time awake (a big Union discussion on EASA FTL)
Commuting by air is less tiring than driving etc - agreed, biggest risk to a pilot is driving home
If your reporting at 1100 do you catch the 0700 flight before, up at 0500.
Operating flight is delayed by 4hrs now what do you do? Pax Flight is cancelled - ring in sick? tut tut that might be me on the flight that gets cancelled as they have no standby. Have you thought about the commercial risk - you're a highly paid professional Pilot
You have made an honest argument just don't think you'll get much support from the Union let alone the regulator.
