By Thursday night my decision making is much slower and I definitely make more mistakes. The worst part is that by Thursday I no longer care. All I want to do is power through it and go home as fast as possible. There is nothing safer than 3 caffeine powered egos trying to bend the jet home as quickly as physics will allow!

Safety will never be the first priority at a company whose charter is to maximize shareholder wealth.
