    Wtf is wrong with society that will point to the drugs as the culprit but not the lack of sleep?

    Studies have proven time and time again that prolonged lack of sleep is the most dangerous thing for a human.

      My somewhat cynical view is that the airlines are trying to aim for damage control as much as possible, and are tying to throw red herirngs to divert from failings on the airlines part. In this case, shrooms. If the airlines get looked at, I suspect the whole fact that he was probably that sleep deprived and it wasn’t seen as not normal could lead to actual action against airlines.

        100% this

        They’re trying to shift the blame entirely to the pilot (who was primarily at fault) rather than their policies that allowed a pilot to fly on no sleep for 40 hours

          Nah, he wasn’t actually flying. He was however on route to fly, which was worrying.

            Either way is a problem tbh

            I think everyone is just glad he didn’t get behind the controls of a plane

      Crew rest is a huge deal in aviation too, something tells me rules were broken and they’re trying to avoid lack of sleep coming up as a culprit.

        I wouldn’t even think they broke an HOS rule. There are so many loop holes in HOS that fuck sleep up I wouldn’t even be surprised.

      Predetermined prejudices.
