How many jobs have you had that if you were scheduled to work an 8 hour day and the company came and said “Hey, you have to work 2 more hours” you were potentially punished for saying no.

What I’ve never had till now is a job where I could leave early and still get paid for work I didn’t do. All I have to do is fill out a form and talk to the duty pilot. I’ve done it more than once, it’s a total non event. But really, who cares if you are fatigued while washing the dishes? C'mon, so what if you are tired while unloading a truck at Kmart? And military flying? By definition we do things in the military that are unsafe, especially in combat. But there is NO reason in civil airline flying to accept unreasonable risks like not being fit for duty at all times. |

I know a lot of us can’t accept this, but we are UNION worker bees, paid by the hour. How many hourly UNION jobs are expected to just stay late, without a premium compensation incentive?

Depends what their contract says. Ours says you can do it. That's how unions work

I guess all I can say to that is you have not worked much in the real world.

We agree completely. If not fit make the call. Not sure what all this angst is about. There is a process in place, it’s not nothing but it’s not unreasonable.
