You know some other sap will be all over this job, which will reinforce their thoughts that we should shut up and confine ourselves to contritely asking 'how high'.
I think I won't give notice of quitting.
Next time they call for a trip I will accept and then show up.....but refuse to fly. I will give an angry, long-winded, arm-waving tirade about how they are going no place today just so that they can see for themselves what it is like to be constantly...
I have a gig where the organization calls about 2x per month and I go for a 1/2 day or a day's flight.
They are totally scatterbrained and cannot keep a schedule. I am at my wit's end with them this week. I got a call about 10 days ago; 'need you Thurs the 7th'. Then Monday it was off. Tues...

Your average business can deny you service if they don't like you, not sure about airlines. If someone thinks they are different I would like to see the regulation or some case law.
I have it on good authority that this pilot is a stand-up guy who would have nothing to do with anything illegal. I think all the accusations in the article are likely exaggerations or simply untruths. This is what we have to look forward to if we hook up with the wrong type of pax.
I bet we get folks wearing diapers, or figuring other ways to avoid the pay toilet, if this comes about. Maybe a bunch will revolt, and wear bathing suits - just pee in the seats, til they change the policy back.
