p130:
"§ 117.5 Fitness for duty.
(a) Each flightcrew member must report for any flight duty period rested and
prepared to perform his or her assigned duties.
(b) No certificate holder may assign and no flightcrew member may accept
assignment to a flight duty period if the flightcrew member has reported for a flight duty
period too fatigued to safely perform his or her assigned duties or if the certificate holder
believes that the flightcrew member is too fatigued to safely perform his or her assigned
duties.
(c) No certificate holder may permit a flightcrew member to continue a flight
duty period if the flightcrew member has reported himself too fatigued to continue the
assigned flight duty period.
(d) Any person who suspects a flightcrew member of being too fatigued to
perform his or her duties during flight must immediately report that information to the
certificate holder.
(e) Once notified of possible flightcrew member fatigue, the certificate holder
must evaluate the flightcrew member for fitness for duty. The evaluation must be
conducted by a person trained in accordance with § 117.11 and must be completed before
the flightcrew member begins or continues an FDP.
(f) As part of the dispatch or flight release, as applicable, each flightcrew
member must affirmatively state he or she is fit for duty prior to commencing flight
...cont'd p131:
(g) Each certificate holder must develop and implement an internal evaluation
and audit program approved by the Administrator that will monitor whether flightcrew
members are reporting for FDPs fit for duty and correct any deficiencies."

WOW. So does that mean the airlines will be relieved of (lawsuit) responsibilty and it will be 'blame/sue the pilot's family'?????
MUCH of this doc seems geared that way. Appears to have Air Transport Assoc & Ford & Harrison's dirty fingerprints all over it
