But the tired part is absolutely, to the letter, the same thing she could be texting after the first leg of a six leg day in the northeast after having just come off of a reduced rest layover with a late hotel van, needed to get food, etc. Sick is different but the rest rules often give opportunity for about as much sleep as she got on the commute and not much more.

I agree though, the flying sick part and the sneezing on the transcript is indicative of a massive sick leave problem at Colgan (and the same could be said about other airlines).
