We're grown adults, individuals, and professional pilots... why make a deal about the captain accepting it and us not? If you're done, you're done. Who cares if he's fine- he might have slept wonderfully while you were dealing with family issues. That's how it goes. Don't make a big emotional deal about it, and they have no room to do the same.

I had a tracker give me a deal about throwing down a pumpkin time when I felt our eastbound afternoon westcoast flight would become a redeye due to our rolling delay. He asked me if I reported not ready to fulfill my contract. I asked him "If something in the contract was legal, is it automatically safe?" He said yes. I told him that we could no longer have a productive discussion and to hand me over to the supervisor or duty pilot. Backpedalling ensued and the situation was resolved very quickly.
Well done. Can you send that person you spoke to over to JB crew services and teach them a thing or to about how to speak to pilots about such matters our crew schedulers our not so good at that. Maybe ALPA can arrange that after the vote is over.

Pilots like this one are the reason JB management came out with the poorly rolled outdependability policy.
Once again sick calls are the only thing that can trigger a dependability review. Fatigue and duty extensions currently do not. Let's keep it that way and vote in a CBA.
Typical blue pilots.

When you know the whole truth and ALL the facts, not simply what blue pilots reports, pass judgement.

I agree Benzonate, well put. We should all be more diligent with our research before passing judgement on these situations. It is such a shame that a few on Bluepilots blur the facts to make a point. Often times there are great informational truths on there that get lost in rehtoric.
