It'll be interesting to see how many guys abide by the FARs, and how many go out on a limb to an indefensible position for the good of the company.
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to help the company out. This is unusual, because of the multiple calls. In most cases, the company abides by the one call policy, but still interrupts you. In that case, you have the right, actually the obligation, not to fly.
For most human beings actually
getting the calls, and getting awoken each time, I agree with you: I don't see how you can possibly report fit for duty.
If there is a guy out there that turns his phone off, or doesn't lose sleep over a phone ringing because his girlfriend calls all the time, or whatever, and doesn't determine that his sleep is interrupted... he's not in violation.
