Most companies have a 'process' where fatigue reports are examined by an ambitious manager to determine if other circumstances might be blamed for the pilots fatigue. The pilot gets questioned about his home circumstances, does he/she have small kids, was you rest at home disturbed, was your rest in the crew hotel disturbed or maybe your bidding for back-to-back or other trip combinations is responsible for your fatigue? Companies have even been known to request room bills from crew hotels to determine what the pilot's alcohol consumption had been in an effort to reassign the blame. Then finally, there is always the question with the veiled threat..... If you are getting fatigued then may this job is not for you?
