Wow, you guys are defending this?

My previous airline now has fatigue calls fall under the ASAP program. Call in fatigued, send in an ASAP, no punishment or even the risk of it.

My current airline has a "no questions asked" policy about fatigue. If you're fatigued, call in, and they don't ask questions about why. They even pay you at 100% of your scheduled line value so you don't make it a financial decision instead of a safety decision. And no, people don't abuse it.

There is no excuse for Colgan's fatigue policy.
