Well, he also got a divorce over it and I'm sure it was tons of stress going through everything. Overall, he seemed to do okay in the end it seems. Maybe the settlement will pay for his divorce? :D

Yea sucks he got divorced. Hopefully he handled it ok.

But you never know, maybe the divorce will be cheaper in the long run[emoji23]

Do not expect to make new friends with any of your nonpilot coworkers and as a matter of fact, don't be surprised if you lose a friend over the tension that you guys have at work. IT DOESN'T MATTER! You're all totally in the right over this. Hang in there and don't let your management's mismanagement be your fault. I'm assuming the FAs are being pretty supportive of the pilots at least, right?

Flight attendants are supportive, they get it. Even the gate agents I've dealt with have been supportive for the most part. I think most of the rank and file employees understand the type of management we are dealing with. But again this is purely a staffing issue. They should be able to staff our airline without trying to scare people into working on days off.

Know and fly the contract. Be a professional and cover your bases. The FAR's protect you and the general public! Take pictures and record everything on your phone.
