Pressure needs to be brought to bear on the creators to expose that their methods are purely for personal gain, at the expense of those who may have to work those rosters, and the subsequent potential risk to the operator if any so called black swan event was to occur.
The problem with this is that the 'creators' or 'implementers' of such programs will immediately respond that it is/was the pilot's responsibility to call fatigue if they are/were fatigued. Therefore any event is once again blamed on the pilot - the criminally negligent pilot...

The problem keeps going round and round in circles. However, with the way legislation is going it seems more and more liability is being lumped on the pilot and less and less of that burden being able to be legallly placed on the 'roster perpetrators.' The scales are rigged, and not in favour of pilots.
