It's also utterly idiotic, because it's precisely that sort of "work em until they drop" culture that led to fatal crashes like Hinton.

I know from personal experience that fatigue is just something we are expected to work through now. I had a call this week while I was in the hotel where when I got in I was showing to work on my rest. Got some good sleep, ready to go, check the boards, it fell back 3 hours. Ok, that's fine. Check the board 3 hours later, it fell back 5 hours. Hmm, better get a nap. Woke up from my nap and it had fallen back 9 more. I was all slept out so I stayed up and would try to get another nap later before I was called. 6 hours later right as I closed my eyes, the phone rang. But I got more than 10 hours off, so I was "rested."
