All;
My last message apparently got lost, so don't take this peronally when I say I don't want to fly with you after a 12 hour day more than I enjoy working a 12 hour day.
Neither of us are at our best and personally I start screwing up after 12 hours. I don't want to know what pilots do !!!

Um, whatshouldiuse, it's time to go to sleep now--You just double-posted.
Push yourself away from the keyboard and get some shut-eye, ok?
By the way, thanks for your comments. When you're well rested maybe you can write a letter to a congressman.
Safe flying.

It can get worse. Go to -

Look at the Continental 985 sections. The FAA resorted to blatant felonies to bury the crew-rest issue.
Nobody from the White house on down will touch the case for investigation.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that neither crew fatigue nor FAA persecution can happen to YOU!

This post has been a little US biased with a flavour of Italy.
Here in the UK my company's regs put the responsibility on me, stating that I am provided with adequate provision for rest before a flight.
In fact this is often untrue with approx 24 hours between flights which makes proper rest impossible to arrange.
If I were to call in "fatigued" I'm sure I would be seeking a new job.
In my experience we just get used to preparing ourselves to work hours normal people would be horrified by.

Herb,
I take it U think the limits don't matter,in the end we could declare ourselves too tired to continue,say at Sharm,because the comp sent me by bus to an apt more than 3 hrs away from my base apt(the time that don't enter into limits)before I even started my 'duty'.And then expect the protection of the "union"that negotiated the very same rules.
Please,get real.
