I probably would have handled it differently but maybe I’m in the minority.
the other 2 pilots could have received EDP, reroute pay, timed out and received the trip paid for and gone home. You would have potentially shafted the crew and given up the contract that pilots fought for. The company can pay people to sit VAS and they don’t. They have the capabilities to cover trips without people being Superman.
