I have made the call a handful of times in 22 years of professional flying. At the part 135 job I had, it made you pretty unpopular. I was even reprimanded once for not telling our scheduling/dispatch sooner that I was going to be fatigued. But under 121 with a FRMP, there is no fear of making a fatigue call unless you're doing it frequently, in which case you're either abusing the program or not adjusting properly to the requirements of the job.
