What a mess.
Reading the findings, it seems to me that Cpt Simkins probably won his case more because of TC's vindictive actions and useless arse covering amongst themselves rather than by reason of roster induced fatigue.
Which, I suppose, would say far, far more about TC than it does about current EASA regulations.
Have the CAA got themselves involved yet ? They should be crawling over TC if there's even the slightest suspicion that they were knowingly and regularly producing two crew PLOGs above 12.30 hours....Rarely smoke without fire.
And does anyone know if this poor guy is still flying ?
If not, then his compensation needs to be upwards of millions for having what appears to have been an umblemished career ruined by a bunch of chancers in TC Management.
