You know who doesn't go to FAR limits because of snow near Memphis.
Me.
You know who doesn't go to Operational limits every time.
Me.
I don't need a reg or a CBA to protect me. I'm either fit to fly or I'm not.
There's been times on HSBY where I've been well within CBA Scheduled limits and I've said No-not doing that.
Times when an Operational Emergency's been called and I've said-NO.
I am never obligated to fly anything.
Never.
I've said no to CRS BS revisions after being on duty a mere 7 hours following a 27-hour layover.
On paper, it should have been copacetic. In practice, not so much.
