Much more to life and choices and circumstance to judge others so harshly without knowing any facts.

Summary: Anyone who desires to be able to fly out of base swaps/pickups/slips is a greedy SOB who puts their wallet above the seniority list and manning levels of the pilot group. And should be beaten about the head and shoulders with a herring if not worse.
