Did I misread the title of this thread?

Fatigue in plain English.

How can you "trust" management who do not experience fatigue like flight crew do? Even if a pilot, most management pilots I've encountered hand pick their once in 90 days to stay current flight. It's human nature to "forget" fatique sitting in the office, with only the risk of falling out of the chair if overcome with fatigue.

You can only trust yourself on the day, whether you're fit to fly. You can also trust that if you stand your ground and refuse a duty due to fatigue or make a mistake in flight due to fatigue, you will soon discover how much you can trust management.
