Comments on fatique
Just thought as fatique is now a bigger issue in the media to open a new thread.
Any comments on fatique and the FRSM ?
Let me start with my own experience about 3 years ago on the mini bus:
Roster was published with several combined duties all night turns to the subcontinent.
On questioning the DCPA on how to manage this roster without getting fatique
his answer was that this rostering practice is scientifically profen to be good for pilots. On asking who did the study no answer was given.
I then did a personal investigation and found after the MEL accident a guy called
Martin Roskind who was in charge of telling the Australian CAA that fatique was not an issue. I found this guy and gave him my roster and guess he told me that he is not related to our airline any more and that he is no longer involved.
I flew the roster as long as I could but then called in sick fatique.Filled the form and a few days later got a warning letter from DCPA stating that I was planning of being fatique.
Pathetic!
