I guess the two things that really frustrate me about this are....

1. The fact that this has been a known issue since I was a small child... in fact I even remember seeing a 20/20 report about it when I was about 8 or 10 years old... and yet seemingly nothing has been done about it except for a couple of studys and no action taken by the FAA or airline management to remedy the situation....

2. Always remember if you are tired call in fatigued but dont call in fatigued cause we'll fire your A$$ for it.....

and on a side note I have spent this last week doing nothing but illegals (standup overnights, highspeeds, CDO's or whatever other name they go by) before that I had a trip that involved a 16 hour duty day with reduced rest to follow.... Needless to say I felt like I was going to die from it.... Where is the safety in all of that and why doesnt the FAA do something about this Bull $hit.
