Nothing is more fatiguing that watching the FAA sit on their hands. Maybe things will change with D.W. in charge up there this time around. Who knows?

As far as crashes off the top of my head you have all the ones I'm aware of. Good luck to you.
 
The NTSB released a preliminary report of its investigation into a go! airlines flight that flew past it's destination airport in Hilo, Hawaii, apparently because the two pilots fell asleep. No mechanical defects were found. Mesa Air Group, which owns go!, has suspended the two pilots pending separate investigations.

i'm not sure if this is considered fatigue, or if this is what the company considers reduced rest.

Frontier had a flight into BWI that had the same thing happen.
 
Donb't forget about that DC-8 freight crash down in Cuba..... Must have been in the early to mid 90s.... Those guys had been on duty for like 28 hrs!

That was a great example of a screwed and extended crew!

You’re probably right, I personally have not read the accident report.

I thought I read something in the Minneapolis Tribune a few years ago that mentioned the pilot had pulled a double shift as a nurse (his primary job) before heading to the airport.

Hence the fatigue connection.
