I'm a hawk when it comes to calling out the company for violating the contract and I'm 100% for improving weak areas in our contract but the company isn't a charity, I don't see why somebody would feel they are owed pay for work that isn't performed (when it's through no fault of the company.)

You can live on west coast with fires and mud slides. Plain states with tornadoes and snow storms. Northern states with blizzards and polar vortex’s. Or on the gulf coast, or SE coast and deal with hurricanes. You learn to deal with it. Going to be something no matter where you live. Dorian is hitting my house right now. I’m at work, family is at home. Prepped over the weekend and off I went. My Marine wife can handle it. Painter just finished on Tuesday for hurricane Florence repairs/house upgrades. It is what it is, keep moving forward....

Wow. You and I have completely different priorities..... not that there anything wrong with that. There are plenty other pilots in unaffected areas that would gladly pick up the slack.
