Don't bet, I don't want your money. They made that remark after I explained my union work. Did you ever have to explain why you got fired from your Base Chief Pilot position because you refused to fly when your Union was on strike? Even though I was reinstated, I still was honest about it, because it still is a disciplinary action. 5 other incredible pilots got the TBNT from your company because they had this same diciplinary action taken against them. If it ever came down to a strike again, we would do the same thing again. This time, we are prepared to with our backups. But, you can call us dicks and anti management, atleast I can land at the right airport after a 5 leg, Max duty day.
