Fatigue is only a problem if you let it be one.
Stupid rostered duty? Contact Crew Control tell them the rostered duty has serious fatigue issues, ask for another duty (copy in Nina). If you aren't adequately rested prior, contact them again 'unable to do the duty due fatigue'. File an ASR-F. Easy. If enough of us do it, the patterns are changed.
At sign on, given another duty which you can't complete safely? Tell them just that. File an ASR-F. Carry on.
Down line, didn't get adequate rest (possibly due to company choose of hotel), contact Crew Control, 'unable to do the duty due fatigue'. File ASR-F.
Hit a wall in flight, take controlled rest, file an ASR-F.
It isn't hard. As a professional pilot one has a moral and legal responsibility to operate safely. Some patterns the company expects us to perform can not always be completed safely. Grow a pair, stand up for what is right.
