If the only recourse is going to court - as it seems you are not permitted to complain, or raise a safety issue - then the risk associated with pilot fatigue is only likely going to increase.
Is this what the industry wants for itself?
Really?
Unless I am mistaken, in the case in question, the gentleman claimed he was / would be fatigued, and was called a liar for making the claim!
The company's own FRMS agreed with him, and yet the regulator still stand and watch as someone gets sacrificed in this way.
Fly while fatigued and you are a criminal / don't fly when potentially fatigued and you get sacked.
Not much wriggle room on this subject, is there??
