Perhaps growing a pair requires actually doing your job.......
Doing our job includes not turning up to work when we’re not fit to fly. Are you suggesting the pilot body operate a flight when they shouldn’t? I would call that irresponsible.
How would calling in sick on a layover screw over a colleague? There simply isn’t enough rested sets of crew on layover to substitute a sick colleague.
You either don’t understand long range flying issues or you’re a management troll. Either way, you don’t seem to grasp the safety issue here. We have been down this 3 pilot route before (although this time around, the proposed pairings are even more demanding), and the majority of posters here are saying when it’s not safe to operate, we have to make the call not to place the flight in unnecessary and unacceptable risk.
