You are EXACTLY right!
But, knowing that our schedules are fatiguing in nature, why don't more pilots make that fatigue call?
What is it that causes us to gut it out and rely on our fellow pilots to carry us? especially when they're probably just as tired as we are?
If YOU're tired, it is more likely than not that the other pilot(s) on your crew are too.
so....why? why do we continue to do it??
