I agree. If youre fatigued, don't fly. Simple as that. Guys that are worried about a carpet dance or phone call for banging in fatigued vs. going in the dirt because they weren't on top of their game due to fatigue need to seriously look at their priorities. I can promise you this: the carpet dance for calling in fatigued is way nicer than the one for bending metal. If the company wants to make an issue out of it, let them. Any lawyer worth their salt should be able to go to town on a company for pressuring you to fly fatigued. Heck, with your 401k taking a hit, that could be a backup retirement plan
