"Management has responsibility for the entire company. Pilots have the responsibility to move the airplane, maintenance has to fix the airplane, crews scheduling sets the schedule and so on. But when any one piece of this puzzle fails or the company doesn't make money, it's all blamed on management. Not the pilot."
A good pilot takes responsibility for the entire company when things go wrong. When you are looking the owner in the eye and telling him/her you aren't going to be able to fly, they see YOU as the company, not someone at headquarters.
It isn't the most pleasant thing, but the owners will notice you are doing your best for them. That is what it is all about.
Well said, and 100 percent true!
