JUST SAY NO! Your medical's validity is contingent on your own analysis that you are SAFE to fly! If you are dead tired, you're NOT safe to fly. There will be no excuses tolerated at your trial later, rest assured. I have accepted those assignments in the past, but NO MORE. I will call in 'fatigued' if need be, and have no trouble explaining my actions to the CP if he so desires.
Sorry, I'm not trying to be preachy, but I feel we all need to take a stand against that kind of stuff.
