One of the most discouraging things that happens out there today is pressure to fly fatigued. Unacceptable and the unions need to step it up on this one. Mesa does it, I didn't know that Republic stooped to this level.

Enough with doctors notes and calls from the chief pilot. Peoples lives are at stake, more than fines for a delayed flight.

Don't fly fatiged guys and don't take any pressure from management. If you do, contact the FAA and your union immediately. We really need to send a clear message to management that pilots will not fly fatigued and that our own indications of health and rest are good enough; no need for doctors notes or follow up CP calls.

Stick together on this one guys.
