I agree completely. Every leg, I have to sign a piece of paper saying I am physically fit to fly and completely capable of the responsibilities yada yada. Sometimes that doesn’t mean being curled up in bed, taking medication. Sometimes relaxing on a beach or by a pool is all the therapy I need when I’m burned out from sleeping (poorly) in a hotel bed or waking up at 3:00 am for the 5:20 departure out of Tampa.
