Don't think this has anything to do with "fatigue rules" per-se. Uk and Ireland have been doing CIVSAR with commercial crews and an approved FTL scheme for decades with few problems.
This is simple the pilots being fed up with routinely being required to do more work than they are contracted for because there are not enough crews and deciding that they are not going to do it anymore.
