Twig,
I'll rise to your bait just once. I recently did a 22hr positioning duty, followed by minimum rest and a 10hr flight with an 8 hr time difference. All just about legal under EASA, but it was quite tiring. This sort of nonsense has become common over the last few years. Each sector of our community could come up with their own particular torture. Long term sickness rates are high.
All these things add up to people making mistakes, like the navy folk have experienced.
