This intimidation policy must be resisted. As the company can't do much about refusing a duty due fatigue they are trying to muscle us on 'sickness', as too many of us report sick rather than go through the process of ASR-F. With the unworkable patterns being generated by the CMP (take a look at the Airbus proposed patterns) we must grow a pair and refuse to work any unsafe patterns and file an ASR-F.
It was the levels of fatigue reported via ASR-F which prevented HKCAD from approving the company's request to increase flight hours to 1000, and fatigue is grossly under reported.
