I just call straight to the duty pilot they do the rest. One call that’s all.
If guys are extending because they are intimidated by that then that’s on them not the company.

While I'm sure that has worked out fine, from the FAQs put out in FRB 17-01 "Making the Fatigue Call":
Q: I am fatigued or will not be fit for duty. How do I notify the Company?
A: If prior to reporting for your rotation, contact Crew Scheduling. If you have already reported for your rotation, contact Crew Tracking. You should then be transferred to the Duty Pilot who has two primary concerns:
• Determining how much rest you need to be available for duty, and
• Ensuring you know to complete an FFDR.
