Last night my crew and I blocked out at the exact last possible minute to be legal for a 16 hour duty day. Both FAs were feeling pretty tired (it was 1 in the morning) so each of them called crew support. They were threatened with occurrences (SKW version of a slap on the wrist, if FAs get 8 in a year they get fired) if they didn't continue the trip. Both said they didn't want to fly but then got scared for their jobs so ended up doing it. I definitely wasn't 100% and neither was the captain, and after working for 14+ hours how could anybody expect you to be?

I was absolutely astounded at the attitude of crew support and the UAL rampers. Safety was defintely not anywhere near the top of those poeple's priorities last night.

And TF should've been fired for his inability to keep his personal vendettas out of the cheif pilot office.
