Sorry to say, it would be incorrect to assume that this problem has or wil go away. No doubts that it will continue to be with us forever, whilst many may think this is a pessimistic view in truth it can never be eliminated. Fatigue is a fact of life, all we can do it to try and mitigate it. Yes safety is compromised to an extent but we do live in the real world. To all fellow responsible crew members please take whatever action one can manage to remove the element of fatigue from their time in the cockpit.
I for one do all in my power to ensure that safety is not compromised, but is it enough to put this on pilots individual responsibility, of course not. Management should be held accountable if a fatigue situation is created due to their actions.
Is this likely, not at the moment, just the way things are and will take major events for better recognition of fatigue of aircrew.
