I'm glad to see that the duty pilots won't help us make the tough decisions. Maybe, just maybe, I was looking for guidance. Instead, I was essentially threatened with "fly it, you're legal." Very regional-esque. But fine. Next time I'll just call fatigued. And when there's a threatening follow up, I'll say "Breezy says there's no gray area, even though I might be legal for it."
As others have said, that is not what the duty pilot is for. You have to make a determination on fatigue. There's no "regional-esque" to it. Your expectation is one that doesn't make any sense other than it sounding like you were trying to make him make the decision so you could say he told you to in your report.
