Working pilots like dogs. This is a manifestation of leadership, or lack thereof from the top. The accident was merely "chickens coming home to roost" and these policies finally coming to fruition.
That is correct but what else can we expect? All the folk in power, the ones who actually have power to change schedules, decide on pilot numbers, influence how rosters are made etc, don't understand what is required to fly an airliner because they have never done it. They wouldn't have a clue what it is like to complete a challenging approach and landing after getting up at 3am four days in a row to do a 12 hour two sector day knowing you have one day off before doing lates and then earlies again, month in month out. Not a clue.
