Same, especially for any kind of prolonged mx delay. MX says likely a 4 hours fix...ya, I've seen this play out before, we want a room. We got them no questions asked. Fix took 6 hours...
Had a rotation about two weeks ago with a just under 5 hour sit in MIA. We asked for hotel…told no. Asked duty pilot, he told us to go hang in the FA lounge.

Huh....the nice part is that you already had the duty pilot on the phone which saves that second call when you bang in fatigued. 😁

Bingo. I haven’t understood why the company is fighting us on things like DH and crew meals and hotels. If we are fed, watered and rested there is a lot we can do to help when the operation goes bad.
They fight us on the low/no cost items, so they have something to give away in negotiations. "OK ALPA, you drive a hard bargain. You get crew meals, DH improvents and more say in hotel selection. We'll just reshuffle the scope clause to even things out".

What if the negotiators called out fatigued?

Get use to it. Same thing they're were doing 40 years ago. Hold the line.
