Fatigue and training gaps in aviation

[ATC Watcher]

very interesting article . thanks B.Bonga.
Fatigue is becoming one of the first contributing factors in most incidents/accidents nowadays. This USN example is extreme , but we find similar patterns in may others sectors. . Air Traffic Control is one of them. Compared to last decades, Staff shortages have led to overtime being institutionalized, longer periods on duty , shorter breaks, and traffic increase often means no slack periods anymore to recover.
Many employers are still on the belief that automation means you can work longer, you do not need breaks as much as before , and adding an extra day to the schedule is what people want ( for the extra money it brings) .
the result are increasing mistakes, increasing long term sickness, burnouts , and people leaving the job early, = high turnover, reducing experience, the perfect long term vicious circle..
