I’m sorry but too bad.
1) There’s no way to contact the other pilot. How do you get their contact details anyway?
2) Appropriation is in the contract and agreed upon by the pilots.
3) The only real dick punch move are the pilots that don’t confirm their morning standby and pass it to the next guy on the list. (Ie that’s not in the contract but a loophole).
