Really? So I'm not sure if this is a true story but I'd heard it some years back.

A guy had a checkride but for whatever reason, midway thru the sim, the sim stopped working. So, he was told to go home and someone would call him from training and coordinate a reschedule. According to story, he wasn't called for about a year. So, he sat at home and earned his 75 hrs a month - never bidding. Once the company realized that he wasn't flying, training called and asked him why he hadn't called anyone to tell them he needed to complete his checkride. His response was classic - "I shouldn't have to do someone else's job. I'm available for training whenever you want to schedule me." Of course, after that, he was given a sim and thereby returned to the line.

Do you think there was EVER a time he complained about being paid for not working?
