He told investigators his only sleep between shifts was a two-hour nap." That's nine hours and he knew he had another shift coming up. What is the FAA expected to do, send someone home with him and make sure he goes to sleep?

Don't you know that? Since when was "Air Safety" a priority at the FAA anyway???

Isn't it interesting that besides the possibly valid incidents, they are still trying to slip in the ComAir Accident.
