Let's hope that.
It is a shame when the safety levels of an entire global industry with an amazing safety record are being eroded by shoddy rostering practices that don't consider circadian rhythm and we simply 'hope' that pilots will recognise when their performance capabilities are reduced to an unacceptable level.
This type of rostering is becoming more and more common and is making its way into all corners of the globe. In thirty years time when we have effective methods of assessing an individual's performance capabilities quickly and easily we will look back on a lot of these 'pilot error' crashes and say "No wonder the crew made a mistake, the industry was pretty naieve back in the early 2000's."
