The FAA is constrained by the law, as is the company. If they did fire you, you would win in court even with My Cousin Vinny.

Now... an Irregularity Report or other similar internal company report, is NOT protected by law, so be careful what you write in those!

If you're fatigued, don't fly.

Probably they'll find a way to f ... you in the sim!

We've had guys waiting for hotels for over 5 hours due to the storms last night. Do you ever hear of WN pilots waiting that long to get a hotel assignment during an IROP?

But the chief pilot said you can just buy a hotel. Just do the job of crew scheduling.

Heck at SW we’ve had guys (and gals) sleep in the crew lounge for lack of any hotels during an irop. unfortunately I think things like that happen no matter what airline you’re at. They’ll keep a handful of open rooms at our mega stations just in case, but not much you can do during widespread cancellations. Livin the dream right? [emoji6]

Keeping a block of rooms open would be a great start. We don't have that.

That pesky little fact that the grass isn't always greener out there. Who'd a thunk it?

And cancellations cause passengers to seize open rooms before we have a chance to process the cancellation internally sometimes.

There's so much negativity around this barn ... a bit of positive attitude is actually welcomed. Thank you
