I guess Miami isnt big enough to handle a yatch show and the overflow needed to go an hour north to FLL. They just didnt want to call in Reserves. They are TERRIBLE!

Hi Carolyn,
The story told here is tragic. I'm curious to know if you have made any effort to get your job back, or to report the incident to the FAA?
You may think, "They've got me dead to rights, someone saw me sitting there with my eyes closed. I have no recourse." On the contrary, you have recourse and reason to persue it, even if you're well on your way to a happy, successful career in nursing. For starters, a crewmember who is fatigued and states so is in no condition to make the judgment call as to whether she is fit to fly another TransCon leg. Once she states she is fatigued, as I believe you did, the supervisor who coerces her to work anyway (which would have been a fairly easy task given your admitted impaired judgment) becomes culpable. She has at that point endangered the lives of the passengers and crew, and should be caused to take responsibility for her actions.
I believe it is in the best interest of the airline industry that such actions not go unrewarded. What are your feelings on the subject?
Thanks,
TonyC
