That is EXACTLY what some time spent in a non-airline enviroment would have not taught him not to do -- no matter how little sleep he had. In fact "taught" is a poor word, "burned into his soul" would be a better term.
We are a product of our experiance, and that experiance should be deeper than a mud puddle when step into our first 121 job.

Do you see any gray, or do you only see black and white? Why do you think the new rest rules came about? It was primarily due to fatigue and their studies of it. It has been compared to being intoxicated. Just as one shouldn't drive while under the influence, one shouldn't operate an airplane when severely fatigued. Have you ever done an altitude chamber and saw first hand the effects of hypoxia and how that affects decision making?
