Correct
If management deems a pilot has become a "problem" they will certainly find a way to legally get rid of them. At least at the company Toiletduck and I work for. If they see a spike in fatigue calls in a certain pilot who commutes long distances to work, has a baby keeping him up all night, has anxiety/sleep problems from the stress of this crappy job etc, they will find a way to get rid of them. They have, in the past, fired pilots for various reasons by conveniently failing their SIM to the point where they could contractually fire the pilots. Don't put it past your wonderful airline toiletduck. If you become a problem or inconvience you are gone. It has happened before at this place. Remember, your management doesn't like you and never ever has your back.
