Two birds with one stone ....
"Pilots can address the fatigue issue in the same way they can address the alcohol issue. Refuse to fly when alcohol or fatigue impaired and refuse to fly with someone that is."
Alcohol impairment, okay, but fatigue? That's highly subjective, so that saying that your schedule, or that cheap motel you were staying in, left you too fatigued to operate ... that might solve another problem instead: the lack of job opportunities, when Management would find someone else who was perfectly happy to take on that very same schedule that you just found yourself unable to cope with.
It seems like yesterday that our genius Management had found a double-wide house trailer for us to use on our overnights in beautiful Columbia, South Carolina. It was winter then, when even South Carolina has cold weather, down around freezing, and this thing had no real insulation and a very noisy warm-air heating system.
Every five minutes or so the furnace would come on and put the temperature up to about 20º C, when it would then shut off. Then the temperature inside would plummet to match the temperature outside. It took about ten minutes for that until the noisy furnace came on again ... cycling all night long and leaving both of us unable to sleep. When we complained about that to Management they got on our case about being unreasonable ingrates, since nobody else had complained. Next time we took our sleeping bags and slept without the furnace; I have no idea how the other crews managed.
Soon enough we were invited to take our ungrateful selves down the road, when that sent a message to me.
