One even called in fatigue for a sim two times. These two times appear to be very strategic when you look at the person's schedule. However, there are "eyes on" now trying to monitor this and avoid this from happening.

There may be instructors "helping a bro out," maybe. But it could be the same saying the south is doing it too. All I do know is if someone gets caught doing it then it will be ugly for some, for sure. Deliberate and intentional abuse will end in job loss, just ask the MD of training.
