You asked me a direct question, read the last line of your post, so I responded. The examples listed are private issues that have the be dealt with on the pilots end. If he can't then he needs to find another job. If it's one or two times then he can simply call fatigued. You wrote it in support of the fatigue issue I said it's poor responsibility on the pilots part if that happens.
Yes I still believe that playing the fatigue card on day 1 is pretty weak. I didn't say it was impossible. I said it was a little hard. It's always possible to get fatigued but it better be a day of hellfire and brimstone for it to happen on day 1. If someone shows up to work fully rested your example shouldn't pose a problem. Agree to have our differing opinions then. Fatigue card on day one is a weak play and ruins it's credibility.
