Captain Evan Cullen:

Mr. Von Schöppenthau will deal with the question on EASA. On shortcuts, we have for the last 12 months been dealing with a situation involving a pilot who was put through a disciplinary process for calling in fatigued and refusing to take a flight. His roster complied with the legislation and rules but a number of experts found that the roster was what they called desynchronising. In other words, he was being flipped from an early start to a late start the following day. Just as his body clock was getting used to getting up at 5.30 a.m. and working until 3 p.m. he would be switched to a 2 p.m. start. As he had woken up at 5.30 p.m. and could not sleep, his body was slowing down. That is an ongoing issue for us and we had hoped that the IAA would back the pilot.
