CAs an FOs are rarely on the same LATT when the parings are split or a reserve or relief pilot is involved. More than once I've had to say, "sorry captain, I know this messes up your trip too be I'm not going to XYZ." It's great that the captain is encouraged to "take care of his/her crew" but this is on each individual. We are all adults and professionals entrusted to make the right safety decisions.
