I flew with one of the biggest D-bags on the XL fleet 6 months ago. We both agreed to fatigue when we arrived at our destination. I'm throwing the covers on and I hear this idiot telling the FM that he was good to go, but my FO is the one tired!! Are you F'n kidding me. I said to him "thanks for throwing me under the bus jacka#@. I called the FM and told her what really happened and she already figured he was full of crap"No everyone is not fatiguing. A lot of the captains at NJA are f'n wimps when it comes to fatigue. They are scared p#$ a$$es. Am I clear? Have flown with many a captains that talk a big game. When asked how many times they have fatigued in their 14+ years the answer is 0. Flew with a tool the other day who was all "I'm going to fatigue then!!!". When the fm told him he needed to tell the acp his attitude was "well, we'll just see how I feel at the hotel. ".. Of course I had to drop the f bomb while he enjoyed the extra show time at the hotel. He looked like the hero that could do 14/10's.. I looked like the moron who had to fatigue. It's about time the union has stopped suckling the companies' nuts and show some leadership.. then again voting is around the corner so I guess change has to take place..
Either way, guys need to stop flying fatigued and sick.. Take the time off and spend it with the family or enjoy the few extra hours at the hotel and lay by the pool.
Rant over..
Anybody fly with the 9-11 conspiracy theory wack job lately? With guys like that still flying in the left seat, we are all in trouble.
