To tell you the truth, I'd have to go back a reread it. You're probably correct, I thought I remember it being in there though.

I wouldn't doubt it. But how many times have we seen an investigating agency discount it, but we all knew better?

True, and maybe it's happened to you, don't know. But just because somebody has had a 24 hour rest period doesn't ensure they are well rested to fly. Especially if there were multiple body clock swaps in a relatively short amount of time. As well as the sleep pattern never being able to be synced to comply with the duty period. I know it's happened to me, one just recently.

Edited, made a typing mistake;
Again, I'd have to go back and reread the report. But to repeat what I said, we've all heard of cases where fatigue
wasn't listed as factor by the investigative body.

True, glad that a failure to verify/cross check number didn't have a fatal result.
