You make a very good point about the conditions the induce fatigue and the fact that fatigue can't be cured by one good nights sleep.
Poor rosters, long duty hours in the small hours and not knowing how you are going to pay both the bank loan for the pilot training and the mortgage are all fatigue inducing factors............. What that guy needs is a holiday.......and that he can't afford !!!!!
As usual it all goes back to cost and blame, the lawyers can pin incapasitation from alcohol on an individual without a shadow of doubt, an airline boss who's business practices result in an accident that has fatigue as a major contributory factor will be far more slippery even if it gets as far as court.
