I think that the original poster is spot on. I am not sure that reporting helps because it validates the system which is then used (missused) against you. In my airline as soon as there are a large number of reports in one area they are taken out of the equation. For example if you are fatigued because you slept badly that becomes a "medical issue" if you are fatigued because your child kept you awake it becomes a "compasionate issue" as so on. Never mind the never ending blocks of four sector days, obviously they have nothing to do with fatigue. We live in the real world and it is how our rosters play out in that world that counts. Unfortunately that is a world of traffic jams, crying babies, angry passengers, technical faults, bad weather, etc, etc, etc
FRMS is just a con. It is used to be able to get around common sense by first declaring that the data is all that counts, then manipulating the data.
