Have just been reading minutes of an ATC fatigue study being conducted in New Zealand
http://www.caa.govt.nz/fulltext/CIRAG/fatigue_1.pdf
Curious as to how (on a worldwide scale) these are viewed by ATCO and pilots alike.
Are there any countries where this is not allowed? Those of you who do them -- what redundancies do you have in cases of emergencies, personal incapacitation, support etc?
I personally do them, a nine hour shift during the graveyard hours. The issues are varied and becoming topical, interested in all views.
I can't imagine all the 2 crew RPT operators charging into or across the airspace would know the controller on the ground is flying solo?
