Its not just a matter of rolling on false charges. Its what it costs you in terms money, stress, and reputation. Its just not worth the risk of some crazy FA getting half crocked and coming after you.
I can respect and appreciate all of that. However, I enjoy my job and part of that is drinks and dinner downstairs after a long day of transcons or Texas Two Step flying, whether that be alone or with my crew. That’s not to say that I’m going to force myself on someone.
I get it. The FA “profession” tends to attract a higher than average amount of “questionable” characters and as a high income earner I’ve got a target on my back by some of those that have alterior motives.
