I've had them refuse to adjust my time before too. And then when transferred to the duty pilot he tried to tell me "well you're legal because you have 8 hours behind the door." I told him well we haven't eaten yet, haven't showered, literally just got to the room, so either have them adjust our time or we will most likely be fatigued in the morning. He was not happy, but when we woke up, our schedule had been changed

Why do duty pilots always take tracking's side?
