Sort of get the feeling airlines are the same way. You're almost expected to go out with people when sometimes all you want to do is go to your room and hit the pillow or call the wife. Does slam-clicker have a negative connotation and cut you off from the collective? Or is it no big deal?
It's no big deal. I believe the majority of crews do this now. But back in the day, when my father was flying for Braniff. It had a negative connotation. I truthfully don't really trust anybody anymore. Your not breaking any rules, your not drunk and acting un-responsible. But if anything goes wrong the next day, there are some FA's that will call you out. "I saw him drinking last-night". Just the nature of the biz now I guess.
