Fellow Pilots,

I'm a Flex guy and I'm personally disgusted by the conduct of my peers. Cowards (closed calendars) and flying *****s (greedy bastards) are undermining the process. They live in a fantasy land and think no one is watching what's going on behind the scenes.

I think it is time to up the ante and call these *********s out. "Why is your calendar always closed? If you need to fly, just bump me. Why don't you wear your ALPA lanyard? How many VLT/DRF trips have you flown lately? Etc. etc."

I kid you not, I am considering a resignation. Very little respect for those I work with because of their actions. Imagine if no one in the training department worked extra events. Training would come to a screeching halt. The implications of that are far reaching. I have yet to work an extra event. I tell the schedulers I have other commitments. But, they always fill it at DRF.

Do me a favor and don't "paint" all the Flex guys as clueless and greedy. Some of us have backbones and principles. The sad thing is the numbers are embarassingly low.

Fraternally,
NKA
