Flying Fatigued
 
How do you guys and gals handle being fatigued and showing up to fly ? Only difference between flying fatigued and flying under the influence is a **** test ....... think about it

I’ll take the bait.
You sign ‘fit to fly’ don’t you?

It's a breathalyzer, not a **** test.
Think about it.

The FAA requires every airline to have a Fatigue Risk Management program. You simply watch the video or attend the class and then call in fatigued if necessary. I thought about it. I don't understand your question.

I think most get fatigued on the job, they don’t show up fatigued as you imply in your question. The way you handle fatigue is to use as little energy as possible. Turn on the autopilot, mediate, etc. not advocating you do it, but if you can in the crew room or something even a 10 to 30 min nap can keep you going for a couple of more extra hours.

I handle it by showing up rested.

Problem solved.

I sleep during the day so I don’t show up fatigued.

Indeed I did. Perhaps you weren't listening.

Not sure why you think this is difficult.

A long duty day is a long duty day no matter where you are. I'd argue that hub turns are easier because you have a couple of hours to eat, sit, and rest.
