CEO’s are very important, we are all seeing just how important now. We have ineffective leadership.
As to your question, that is incorrect. Money will be made if neither show up; more money will be made if the pilot DOESN'T show up because the CEO ensured that the airline is properly staffed with reserves to cover pilot absences.
Stop with the self-aggrandizement. Thinking that pilots are more important than CEOs is utterly laughable. All employees including CEOs are just widgets but CEOs are more valuable to an airline than pilots.
In light of other threads on this forum, this entire detour into how important pilots think they are is hysterical. When an EVP threatens to take away a pilot's travel privileges if they don't help clean the aircraft after nonreving, that should give you an idea of just how important pilots really are. Pilots are much smaller widgets than they like to think.
