I don't care if you start flying 30 minutes late for not covering for other people, but once you fly you should do you best to not make nervous flyers uncomfortable. My opinion. This also goes for a-holes that talk about using full reverse all the time no matter what. Be a low tier employee, but be a good pilot.
