They had better watchout it is a two way street, the airlines are doing a study of their own. Their findings will impact pilots personal lives. Some of the findings that impact fatigue the most is:

Obesity
Smoking
Drinking Alcohol
Generally being out of shape.

So if they push to hard on the fatigue issue it will impact them, because their main argument is Aviation safety. This will ultimately force them to modify medicals and standards.
