I was too tired to watch it..........

Seriously though, there needs to be a mechanism where pilots who do call in fatigued are not penalised. Operators need to understand that fatigue is not sickness, and so should not use up sick leave. I think 99% of pilots are responsible and mature enough not to abuse this.

I am aware of operators who dismiss fatigue as a myth; wait until they see a smoking wreck in their colours.
