CMR Sick Calls Xmas Day

[Nightrain_080]

How many people didn't get to spend Christmas with their family all because you tools decided to make a point? Did you ever think that your actions affect someone other than yourselves?

I think I am going to tear up. sniff sniff.

I wouldn't celebrate a lack of integrity; how many of those were really sick?

Not me, I called in sick 4 days had a good time.

Typical Comair BS! These clowns are the biggest idiots I have ever seen! WOW what a man it takes to call in sick! I am impressed. All these DI$KS have done is to ensure more of their flying is moved to Skywest. Comair is unreliable, uncomfortable, nausiating experience. I look forward to this third class airline out for good!

Most pilot groups are pissed...it takes courage to act on it. Being pissed is never enough.

There are pilots that are pissed off? LOL no way!! The day there are no pissed off pilots is the day people are using transporter beams instead of airplanes to get around. I think there would still be pissed off pilots no matter what they make and no matter what their schedule is. We might as well have competitive rates and keep growing rather than trying to appease the angry minority.

Oh my god! Did we just get a lecture about integrity from a Skywest pilot?

Seriously?

Rejoinder...

While I agree sometimes one must take a stand in the face of adversity (you booking on UAL vs DAL is a good example of coping strategy), I don't think merely taking a stand qualities as an intergrity-driven action, and I would hope to see no other posts [others'] about professionalism when this kind of thing is condoned as a tactic. There is no doubt that management integrity may be of negative perception and consequence, but to suggest 'what is good for the goose is good for the gander' OR that 'the ends justify the means', is really loosening professional ideals. If a group intends to be professional--unionized or not--that means acting the proper way all the time, not just when it suits your own needs, even in the face of adversity. Perhaps there were 500+ actually sick people, but I doubt it. Believe me, I preach the same (when asked) to the folks I fly with...doing what is right is, at all times, the right thing to do. Somtimes the line is blurred between right and wrong when it comes to ethical decisions, but lying is not one of those lines. By doing the same as management (if that is the case) then you simply support or validtate their tactics...

BVT1151: Hardly a lecture, but your general ignorance is noted.

Did we just get another lecture? He even gave a lecture about giving a lecture. And I thought his first post was funny!

Why on earth would you choose to book a flight in Chirstmas day anyway? (besides Muslims) I for one have never understood that. Also, what's up with the people that book redeye flights on New Years Eve?

If I were a pax (thankfully not often) and I wanted to be somewhere for the holidays I sure as hell wouldn't book a trip on any holiday, you are just asking for disappointment.

While I was in college, I was taking part in the collegiate skydiving competition in Florida. It started on the 28th of December.

I had to book a flight on Christmas day to get to my friend's place so we could fly a Seneca down there in time.

So yeah, people do it, even people who celebrate Christmas!
