We explain to the GA that if we didn’t get on the flight, the inbound FLT the next day wouldn’t have a crew. Their reply was: “that’s not my problem.” And this was the supervisor who denied us.
He's right. It's not his problem. And you know what? It's not mine either! Screw it, go back home. I'd love to see a missed trip for that one! The base manager meeting would go quick. I showed up, they saw me as positive space, but refused to give me a seat. Take it up with them, I did my job.
