I can't actually post a screenshot of the roster here because of Safari/iPad crashing issues but I have concrete evidence of how EASA regs are IMHO criminally negligent as regards to potential fatigue.

At a previous airline who operated under the new EASA regulations it was perfectly legal to complete a 23 duty hour two day layover (six sectors) starting at 04:50 Local on the first day, arriving back in home base at 01:30 AM Local the day after and then be expected to check in for another such tour of duty the very next day at 04:50 AM Local.

Absolutely ludicrous and I have roster copies of many more equally scary things going on in rostering. About 18 months worth.
