You do you. I guess you’re technically correct and it was just a little white lie. So you stuck it to the man but then 2 other pilots get the shaft. Not to mention the other pilot, flight attendants, gate agents, ground guys and several hundred passengers waiting around for your replacement.
I probably would have handled it differently but maybe I’m in the minority.
