I wonder, if the pilots on DL 300 do a same day turn around or not? Sure the NTSB will look at fatigue as a factor. I know from my step-daughter (F/A at Air Can) that trips to the Caribbean usually do not include a layover; they are a turn. So using our upcoming flight to St Kitts as an example: We depart at 0925; crew report time at least 1 hr earlier, say 825. Arrive at St Kitts 1515 (ontime assumption) DEP St Kitts > Toronto: 1600 5 hr 10 mins flying ARR: Toronto 2010 Sure we all think that flying is easy but that folks is a lonnnnngggg almost 12 hour day. And remember the crews do not get paid if the door is open so of that 12 hours they get paid for about 10. If there are any ground delays on either leg that is unpaid time.
After every Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF.
