I had a phone call from ALPA the other day doing a fatigue study. They called about an hour after I got home from work. I told them I was too fatigued to take the survey. When they publish te results of this survey I think you will find the results very similar to the UK study.

I only wish we had rules as good as the UK. 9 hour duty day? Come on, try 12-14 with the minimum sleep. Anytime managment thinks we get enough rest I think they should have to shadow a crew. Make them sit in the jumpseat so they cant just kick back and relax, they cant leave the aircraft until the crew is ready to leave it, and they must stick with the crew for atleast 1 full sequence. And it can't be some cherry picked out and back either. It has to be one of the crappier lines. As much of a pain in th @$$ it would be having them along, I'd do it.
