Do you have data that shows that pilots that do community service are better pilots or employees? Until you can show me the data, I'll continue to believe it's an absolute bull$hit requirement made up by HR idiots.
The pilots that care about the PAX in the back are better for the brand. Remember - and this might shock some - the product airlines sell is not safe travel from point A to point B. It’s tickets. If they could sell them without airplanes they would. Flight crews are partially marketing tools.
