B. He is probably more diminished than he realizes, but (if real) maybe at 25 hrs he is like most of us at 16 hrs. We don’t know.
C. His type of schedule wouldn’t not be healthy for 99% of us.
D. I personally am happy only flying a couple red-eyes a month. I fall somewhere right under the fat part of the bell curve as far as fatigue performance degradation goes
As I mentioned there is not much difference between being chronically fatigued and just be used being chronically fatigued. You might think you are getting away with it but your body is keeping score. Also as I mentioned if the guy is an outlier (weird) was the term I used. Then he's an outlier. It does not change my experience with night freight. Skrew that stuff, it's not for me.
