Under
no circumstances can airline management "force" pilots to fly sick/fatigued (61.53) or fly airplanes that have open discrepancies and are not airworthy (91.7 and a good chunk of Part 121). Of course, that says nothing of one's FOM/GOM language on the above topics.
As for working above contract...you don't have to "fly it and grieve it", but if you don't, you gotta know a discipline hearing and even termination fight are possibilities.
