Line pilots are also the ones who get themselves into trouble by doing stupid sh!t with other pilots’ schedules.

To say nothing about all of the work that’s created for our (unpaid) ALPA volunteers who have to spend huge amounts of their time on Quixotic quests for the smoking gun at the heart of some delusional conspiracy wet dream.

(As a guy who’s had the privilege of supervising those unpaid ALPA volunteers in a past life I’d rather everyone’s schedules were blocked. It’s not worth the hassle.)
