I don’t see the issue. Most healthy people drink beer at 6AM before taking the kids to school.

Am I weird? My most normal trip:
Day 1, get up 7am, get kids to school, do stuff, leave house 5 PM for my commute, get to base 10pm, 11pm check in, fly red-eye to FLL, get to hotel 7am. Day 2 and 3 same thing, report around 11pm, fly to Central America and back, in the hotel 7am. Day 4 report 8pm, fly back to base, commute on red-eye home, get in at 6am, have a beer, 7am get the kids to school, 9am take a nap till 3 pm, kids are home. I do that every week, no problem with fatigue, 50 year old.... |
Day one, stay up for 26 hours and land the jet at hour 25 :eek:

Did you carry on or call him in fatigued?

I don't know about now. But back around 2000 a FedEx FO had a similar schedule as me flying passengers Internationally.
Yes, the hours are screwy, but you get 20 plus days off a month. If you fly domestically, (ie. want to be a Capt.). then, yes, all nighters. But a junior FO that I talked with was doing International trips on the DC-10. |

Let me rephrase, did you say anything to anyone when the capt fell asleep during the before start check list? Or is that commonplace so you said nothing and continued on with the flight?
