I once met a pilot in NYC crew lounge that I knew, he was happy about a 2 day OOB-GS, but was incommutable on both ends. When I pointed out that all he agreed to was an OOB WS where he picked up the hotel on the first and last day......his enthusiasm definitely dipped about the trip.
I’m late to the party on this, but who cares where they live or why they did it. It’s in the PWA. If you don’t like the fact that they exercised their contractual rights, take it up with ALPA. It’s not their fault. Unless you would be willing to waive one of your pwa rights so that someone else could benefit. Not directed at you nene, it’s for the general “they took my GS with their WS” crowd.
