Hi all,
I am just wondering what other airlines have in place for fatigue risk management( policies/studies etc), Do your crew attend courses or is it dealt with at CRM?
Any info would be greatly received.

Sure we cover Fatigue on CRM but Fatigue Risk Management is a bit more than can be covered in CRM.
Have a look at Clockwork Research - Fatigue Risk Management Specialists
They also run a course on behalf of the JAA Training Organization
(and, no, I don't work for them!)

No FRMS take into account lifestyle and commuting (eg babies/kids/pers admin/road conditions/accommodation quality etc) - which, to have prevented Buffalo, they would have to have done. When that happens, FRMSs will become a very valuable safety tool. Until then, however, they are a bit of a gimmick (IMHO) that can allow unscrupulous rostering depts to work us harder!
FRMS should be used in conjunction with the FTLs until that time - and the most limiting of either duty-times should be applied - much to the annoyance of the rosterers!
