The only time I ever called in fatigue was after a 17 hour cattle-class flight from PVG-JFK. Was supposed to continue to MIA, but I pulled the plug in Kennedy.
"Scheduling? Hi. I'm fatigued. Not going to Miami today."
"But... You're deadheading!"
"I know. And I'm done. Get me a hotel room."
"But... you can't fatigue on a deadhead!"
"Wanna bet?"
