Very true VLS.
The doctors are powerless because they don't have data to back up what they know about our rosters.
Ive been told directly by my AME to call fatigued if I'm too tired to fly safely. Most guys just call in sick.
Look at it from the companies perspective. Doctors say there is a fatigue problem, but the company sees that few pilots call in fatigued. Now if a every pilot that was too tired to fly calls in and drops the "F" bomb instead of just calling sick, things might change. Key word, "might".
WE, as a pilot GROUP, need to grow a pair and protect ourselves.
