The one time I was fatigued in the field, the FO and RFO were not queried at all (I was revised to go same duty period to j/s from STN to CDG without my FO to go CDG-MEM same duty period with a different FO and RFO).
I know my limits, it was onerous, the company really pushed the (exceeded my) limits and I wasn't about to take what they were dishing out (awake and/or on duty for 24 hrs at ETA in MEM).
