and apparently people who posted on this board can't read well because there is this note "*Mitigating circumstances that prevent a rest period from being fully utilized will be considered when determining whether a fatigue call is acceptable." in case you do get a bad nights sleep or for whatever reason are fatigued.

I would like to take this time to thank Colgan management for their incredibly well-timed stupidity. This policy will do wonders for us convincing Congress that new laws are indeed required to stop the negligent bullies in airline management from killing more innocent people with their incessant greed.

I would much rather just make good money doing something else and fly on the side... The Heck with this crud, these companies can kiss my you know what!
There are those of us who are trying to make positive changes to this place. Until we can turn this place around, I understand and agree with you.

That's when you let the MANAGERS take each case on a "case by case" investigation. If somebody keeps calling in fatigue when they get to Miami.....then , hmmmmm...sounds like this is a problem. A couple fatigue calls throughout the year should NEVER be an issue.
Common guys, this is the regionals were talking about! Guys have 6-7 flights a day at times!! Give 'em a break!
Terrible, absolutely terrible.
