A more targeted way of dealing with the problem:
Alitalia passengers forced to disembark after 'pilot refused to fly because he was too tired' | Daily Mail Online,
Alitalia pilot said he was 'too tired' to fly, passengers endure 16-hour delay | Stuff.co.nz,
and far better than the 'loose cannon' approach of blabbing to a journo working for a rather dodgy state funded media outfit on PPRuNe?
(The video on the 'Stuff' report is worth watching.)
