There are some macho keyboard commandos here who like to beat their chest. I suspect reality differs.

Especially for FO's who we have overloaded since the merger, and the union seems to be silent on that , as well as the unreasonable 45 minute show..... There's no money in it I guess.

As for the OP who claims to soon be a captain.... it sounds like his captain made an attempt to contact him, and made a decision he felt best for safety and timeliness. If the OP got his feelings hurt and didn't try to talk it out with his captain later, but came on a public forum for support..... he doesn't understand leadership and is going to have a hard time when he get's to be the arsehole in the left seat.
