I have no sympathy when they caused the staffing issues and never took an opportunity to change the course when it became apparent we would need more pilots sooner than their pessimistic estimations. We’re the ones paying for it, and when they put out memos selectively using data attempting to show us how it’s not worse at all it is disrespectful and embarrassing.

Bottom line, the rotation quality needs to be improved to reduce fatigue, and and pilots should not hesitate to stop the operation when fatigued.
