We must get unified.
I heard a great statement this week at work. If I can't trust you enough to have a beer with you while on a layover, how in the hell can I trust you to not do draft, sell back vacation, volunteer, ava, etc.etc.
So many times I've been on layovers and obvious crew members ignore one another and/or ditch one another.
That is certainly a faulty analogy. The two issues are completely unrelated.
Plenty of people who would do draft, sell back vacation, volunteer and do ava during negotiations would be happy to have a beer with you.
But others who might be tired, non drinkers, busy, introverted, or just not interested in going out may not do the above things.
It doesn't require trust to have a beer. And not everyone is interested in going out and hitting the bars.
