I do understand the practical realities of calling in fatigued every other week (it's much easier to do once every year or three).
very often you become fatigued during a flight. That’s when fatigue reports are most important to file. It brings attention to the fact that pilots are starting out feeling fine, but are fatigued by the time they get to the critical landing phase of flight. We are encouraged at HA to file fatigue reports regardless of whether we call out fatigued or not.
