Perhaps you’re fine, but the odds that the other guy or gal is also an effective ironmanner aren’t so good. And if you know you’re tired but are counting on the other guy to back you up…there’s a good chance he’s thinking the same.

A month or two of honest and professional fatigue calls will do more to improve safety at Delta than any RCC input or negotiated rig changes. Make the call, get rested, and get back on your rotation…too easy!
