I use 60 Cap, 30 rest and 10 unset without any undue problems. This even seems to work with LRCAP but heavy combat does have more of an effect.
I use 70/30 as a general guideline and don't have problems. Except, in malaria zones, I go 50/50, or at worst 60/40 if I'm being pressured. It's tempting even there, when you're getting stuffed, to go 80/20 or 90/10 for awhile, but the fatigue skyrockets.
I hate malaria.
AHEM!
I love the way malaria is modelled in the game. It's a realistic tax on your ability to maintain offensive drives.
Anyways, to the original point, I think the following things help keep squadron / pilot CAP fatigue low:
1. 60/40 CAP / REST settings. "Hard code" the rest settings.
2. Reduce range to 0 if just local base coverage desired. Stay within 'normal' range settings for 'normal' fatigue. Anything beyond 'normal' range will result in greater fatigue.
3. Have a surplus of pilots to airframes.
4. Stand down your units every 3-4 days if possible, particularly if a nasty weather front is moving into the area.
5. Avoid LRCAP if possible. I find that fatigue is very rapid with this, particularly at longer distances (see #2 above).
6. Avoid malarial areas for major airodromes...[;)]
