We're talking about doing just a little bit extra when it's warranted. Imagine a divert to Guayaquil Ecuador. A passenger is waiting for their wheelchair. It might be hours. There's no station ops, no support. You have to choose between grabbing the wheelchair yourself, or dropping smoke immediately and self-helping to the nearest Hilton.
Most of the mouth-breathers here have already self-identified and made it clear that "tHe COmPanY sHoULd haVE pLaNNEd beTTeR GOBLESS!!!1!" but this is the kind of thing most of us are talking about when we mean "going the extra mile."
Let’s be honest, how much a pilot does or doesn’t do, or how much they complain or don’t complain. How much they lead or don’t lead, and how much they care or don’t care. Is directly related to their personality. Not so much the job. And all of the generosity and kindness can be done while also being a good union pilot.
