I remember flying with CAs at the regional that acted like you're describing.
"You're going to get in trouble if you delay the flight!"
"And fly knowingly deviating from my physological needs? Nah.. I'll get some chow, see ya there." Never heard a word...
Well, you are a luckier man than I.
I worked for some good 135 companies that were like that. I never had to justify a decision.
But when I got to a 121 company, I had to fight with my dispatchers and management whenever I made a decision that impacted performance.
Again, good for you that you never got challenged. But there are MANY of us who do.
Yeah, I push tin. But when this old mule refuses to work, there is nothing that can make me move.
