I would call that resourceful, you would call me the scum of the earth. The guys chest bumping on here are the same ones that will extend to make it home for their kids birthday - which I completely understand, even in a labor dispute. And I, as the Captain, would very much help a guy get home for that. Shame on me!

Just make sure your post is equally targeted at the pilots family who had children with unforeseen medical issues with a lifetime of medications and doctors visits. And even at our salary, still has to work his ass off to pay the bills. Make sure you tell them Joe said No to picking up trips!

oh I didn’t say don’t I just said pilots that do are the problem.
VDA away the day volunteer rsa pick up whatever but when it comes to labor dispute times, I will not do anything other than what is required. But that’s me.
