That's it - be angry because your pilot places safety as a priority.

I have refused to get into aircraft with fatigued pilots (granted - these are small planes or helicopters in bush camps), fatigued people have slower reaction times and are likely to have poorer judgement of a situation. It's just not safe.

I think sometimes people forget airplanes are run by people. [They probably create this misconception based on the way the airlines act :) ]
