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.
Why should the company hire more pilots? They are just living up to the contract, just like you are...right? Why is it "professionals" like you have no problem jerking the company around (and delaying hundreds of people) because it is "legal", yet you get mad when they don't go out of their way to improve your quality of life by going above and beyond what the contract requires them to do? Sorry, don't bother to reply and lets get this thread back on track.
