If I really wanted my family to feel safe, I would feel more comfortable knowing that the pilots were actually living at the same place that they were based out of.
Probably the one thing the scared the hell out of me, was a pilot that jumspeated from South Africa, 4 hour nap & then flew a fully loaded 747 to Anchorage, now, that scared the hell out of me.
So as to what goes on in the cockpit, I don't want to know, sometimes, ignorance is bliss.  |
What goes on in the cockpit stays in the cockpit! I kiiid kiiiid
Seriously though, it might be something to consider on a 2 leg only basis, when certain conditions are met, at specific carriers, say 12 hour max duty, etc.
Again, it is something to ponder however it seems if we give an inch...
