I’m not one who goes to 16 hrs in a blizzard to get a flight in, but if your #1 holding short and your CCO time is in one minute, going back to the gate to get vengeance on your furlough a decade ago is pretty lame. Glad the bulk of guys I fly with don’t have his attitude, I’ve worked at places like that, not fun. He was ****ed that I chipped in and helped make it work, legally within the contract I might add.....
I’ve watched guys deliberately slow roll themselves in order to time out, last flight of the night. That’s total horse feces. In the normal operations of the day though you owe it to the people paying your check to do what you can, and I’m in the no extension category too under most circumstances. However I’ll bust my ass up to that point to make it happen.
