A long time ago, a weak pilot from my military squadron couldn't get a job anywhere despite massive hiring at the majors. The resume looked very good but multiple pilots who knew this pilot had called their respective HR. Nobody wanted to see him/her at their shop. Still happens and HR is always accepting input. (No, I didn't call on him/her)
You are absolutely correct in saying what goes around comes around. It does indeed. Don't **** people off.

This dude (the Delta neighbor) is a complete tool if the story told is true and complete (see possible snorkeling incident).
Seriously though, this forum seems to be getting more and more about trolling and/or pi##ing on guys. I don't know... might be time for an extended hiatus.

Because 4 years ago, We went on vacation with him and his wife. A bareboat charter. Because we had planned it for over 6 months and I couldn't get the week off at my crappy regional, I called in sick.
So he can't "in good conscience" recommend anyone who would abuse sick policy.
THAT is where the term "douchbag" originates from

What would be even worse is if he told the guy "dude just call in sick so we can go on this trip".
Either way...that's a pretty messed up thing to do for a friend. What's up with the "holier than though" attitude?

No doubt a 35%er. Probably wails about all the money he lost by our TA being voted down.

Interestingly, if one were seeking to implement communism and/or totalitarian gov't a la East Germany behind the Iron Curtain, this is a great way to go about doing it without ever having to fire a shot or fight for the takeover.
Of course, at the same time you'd want to militarize the police forces, politicize all the departments of gov't (IRS, EPA, Justice, State) etc.
But none of that has been happening in America. I'm just a tool for thinking it has.
