Buddy relayed this story ... his crew on trip with layover ... Capt and crew arrive at ramp after layover with unexpected extra jet on the ramp. Interesting, hmmm ... GOC/CRS launched a PM O/B to this location. F/O on RB and Capt on DRF. Capt is a NM and less than 3 weeks from Age 65 retirement. All about him - not surprising.
Crew arrives to same jet the O/B crew delivered. Cockpit is TRASHED. Crap everywhere in cockpit and in j/s area. Food, towlettes, trash, empty/partial water bottles. New Capt is ****ED! Disappointed and ****ed.
Exits cockpit and has an intense chat with O/B DRF Capt. You can imagine how that went. NM Capt doesn't give a crap (standard). My buddy WEARS HIS A-- OUT in a professional manner (need more of this)
We need to take care of bizness within the crew force people.
The collective will of the crew force will take care of our contract.
The MEC and NC aren't getting it done without US.
Of course, it's a personal decision to fly or not to fly.
Freedom of choice.
But you are always accountable ...
