im blown away there is a mindset that there are suddenly “less options” to be unfit with the release signed, like you just gave away all your rights. in the rest of the industry, it doesn’t matter if it’s signed or not, if you’re fatigued, you’re fatigued and they don’t want you flying their airplane fatigued. no questions asked.
