What makes stand ups bad are the folks that (for whatever reason) won't sleep when the sun is up. Folks need to accept that sleepy time is 0900-1700.
I agree 100%.
It is amazing that something has not happened yet on a CDO. Pilots doing 4 in a row in the Northeast. Wintertime, snow blowing, visability down to 1/2 mile and here is a crew on their 4th CDO, having to fly a city pair EAS route from IAD-AOO-JST and not hit anything or anyone when doing it...
Disaster waiting to happen? Indeed!
