If he didn’t violate anything that’s in black and white, then there’s no condescending or punitive response that should have been sent in black and white.

Did the guy game the system? Yeah, probably. Not any different than the way every single person on the line at any airline “games the system” when there’s an opportunity to make more money or get more time off within the confines of a contract or rule book. It’s like all the guys at the big 3 who were able to get vaxxed and get trips bought that conflicted with the vax+48. If they weren’t “gaming the system,” they would have been mandated to get them on off days and/or forced to use sick time if they missed trips. But “gaming the system” isn’t an issue. The chiefs and company can prevent whatever gamesmanship they want via policy. It’s on them. And doubly so for her showing her ass in that email.
