Ive had the same thing happen when refusing to extend. Dude went out of his way to make sure the duty pilot knew he would extend. I told him, “there is no way they replace me in the next 30 mins, you are going to time out along with me.” He insisted on pushing it anyways and I had to wait around for him to go to the hotel. I’ll let you guess which kind of lanyard he was NOT wearing. Sometimes it’s nice that you can get a heads up about what type of guy you're flying with from those types of things.Originally Posted by hockeypilot44
Unrealistic to expect that out of pilots. Last time I called in fatigued, it was most obvious fatigue call ever, yet the captain refused to back me and even went out of his way to make sure duty pilot knew he was good to go. It was obvious he was ****ed about my decision but I didn't really care because I've been here so long. No way a new hire would have stood his ground.
