I know it sounds like company kool-aid. But with some of that behavior, no wonder the public will never be behind us in obtaining better pay and QOL. I know you were following the contract but come on make at least some effort to help out the hand that feeds you.
Yeah, your right... that is company kool-aid. Pretty lame man. If people want to fly a different airline because one pilot lived up to the letter of his very crummy contract (which is waaaay more then the company could claim) then so be it. First of all, I couldn't have possibly dreamt that that was why the flight was delayed. I mean, what moron would ever allow that situation to occur? If I had known, then maybe, maybe I would have done everyone a favor. My fight isn't actually with the pax. It's with the company. The company is the one that created the situation. The company is the one at fault here. I just lived up to my contract. If the company doesn't like it then they could hire more pilots and not use reserves to cover the regular schedule. The company let them down... not me. And in case you hadn't noticed, load factors are through the roof right now. Tried jumpseating anywhere lately? If an airline can't make a profit with 95% load factor then maybe they need new management.
But you keep drinking that kool-aid.
