Numerous convos with pilots + my own experience shows that calling in fatigued is still frowned upon, and while maybe not be punitive, "on the radar" is a very real thing
Everytime I've called in fatigued the duty pilot has 110% had my back. Never caught any flack from anyone afterwards either. As someone who was at one point a little paranoid at work, I simply don't feel any "threat" from my cpo. Nobody should be afraid to call in fatigued/sick...
