You're not just trying to cover trips to keep the operation going. You're waiting until its financially beneficial for YOU and then doing it.
Picking up straight time is NOT helping the company. Salvaging a flight last minute because a crew times out because of weather or maintenance definitely is. And that’s was I stand for.
And by the way, yes, it’s obviously for a financial gain. I don’t work for free. We have to take care of number one, too, because nobody else will. Company at the verge of a possible shut down, yea call me selfish for wanting to pad the bank a little bit. Wow.
