Even worse. you are never going to get a FTL regulator to impose the same regulations on its own employees, who useually enjoy the 9-5 routine. I think it should be mandatory for the CAA offices to have a 'pilot appreciation' week once a year. This would include:

Strip search before entering the building.
Start at 03:00, finish at 15:00.
Next start at either 03:00 or 15:00 (not sure which is worse).
No company restaurant, all food to be brought in.
But security to confiscate all fluids, including sauces and yoghurts.
No coffee or tea, to be provided yourself.
No lunch-breaks. All food to be eaten at the desk.
Toilet breaks to be requested, and signed in triplicate before approval.
All toilets closed and elsans provided, located next to the secretary's desk.
No air conditioning for two hours a day.

etc: etc:
