Now with that being said I think captains need to start thinking really hard about extending. I can see clueless captains pushing FOs to keep going so they can get paid extra.

If I’m reading this scenario wrong my bad, but I’m suddenly worried about the safety implications of paying people extra to fly longer when they are tired. Could creat conflict on the flight deck as well. Food for thought.

For me going forward, as a captain I’m going to give zero indications of where I lie. I will make sure the FO answers first without any of my bias involved. And if I feel like we need a break, then I’m going to pull the plug on our operation regardless of what they want (obviously this stands now no matter what, just highlighting that you may not be getting the real story from the FO).
