Having spent ~10 years each active and reserve in Naval Aviation, it still boggles my mind that the rest of the Fleet hasn't understood the concept of crew rest yet, or is at least only now beginning to understand it 60-70 years later.

We adopted it in the mid-20th century post-WWII because we were literally killing people for dumb reasons. I don't know if it's the well-known aviator hate among a significant minority of blackshoes that's the roadblock, or what.
