Airlines in this part of the world do not take fatigue seriously, just look at the way Jetstar has appealed the courts ruling over providing meal and rest breaks in New Zealand. The claim was filed over 6 years ago and despite every court in the land ordering Jetstar to provide the legislated breaks in a days duty they still aren't! We have 3 sector trans tasman, 11.5 hour duties, All with minimum turns, you often don't have time to leave the flight deck for anything other than the walk around.

Take my last roster over 5 days:

1 - 13:30 - 22:30
2 - 13:30 - 22:30
3 - 13:30 - 18:30
4 - 05:30 - 12:45
5 - 19:15 - 05:30

How the hell you are meant to be well rested for that I don't know, I filed a report and the response was that the 'computer said this is not a fatiguing duty'?
