A crewmember who is fatigued should immediately notify Crew Scheduling if unable to complete a trip.
Should an accident, incident, or flight violation occur, fatigue should not be a contributing factor since the FOM clearly states that a pilot should not fly fatigued.
Define Fatigued. Is the guy coming out of the sleep rooms stumbling and blurry eyed fatigued? Lets be honest, If we did not fly fatigued we would not be fat pilots right now.
