To be clear YOU DO NOT need a medical opinion. The law is very clear.
Demand to see the FAST (Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool) and the company MUST produce one.
If the airline are still stupid enough to press ahead. Sit back and await for the court case.
I'm not saying you legally require a medical report. Indeed, the company would probably be very happy that you hadn't got one. What I am saying is that it is not very clever not to get some form of independent official/professional corroborating evidence beforehand to take into any meeting with you. If you are happy to go with only you knowing if you have fatigue and with FAST then fine. I would prefer a written report by a qualified doctor who examined me at the time. FAST could then be used as well if necessary.
