You are required to sign the release for each leg attesting to the fact that you are "fit for duty" per 14 CFR 117 and 121. Please Think about that very seriously. Think about the passengers you are flying around. They TRUST and expect a safe flight each and every time, no exceptions....
Well if the FAA actually cared about solving pilot fatigue they would have really done something meaningful about it.
I realize every airlines policy is different. But most don't pay for fatigue calls. As long as a fatigue call could potentially result in lost pay there will ALWAYS be pressure to fly fatigued.
