What responsibility do we have to the non flying general public?
By that I mean those that we potentially endanger by driving home after extending our FDP. Never let us forget the Selby train crash. Fatigue on the way home is as important as fatigue on the flight.
0600hrs report 4x sectors (10hr 45 min fdp) + 3hrs discretion + 1/2 hr for paperwork + drive home,oh forgot to mention time spent getting to work.
Thats a long day in anyones book,if pushed to the limits then something will break. Its probably by good fortune that an incident like Selby has not happend to one of us and I pray it never does.
lets hope sanity prevails
