Payment to contract pilot for trip cacellation

[Mason]

I think there should be no money for cancelled trips!

That would keep contract pilots out of business and the people on seniority lists upgrading!

And we wonder why members are leaving for other forums....

In my full time flying job there are only 2 pilots. Truthfully, we only need the two as our schedule is 5 days per week. However, we get vacation and sick leave so, without contract pilots, we would be unable to take any. Contract pilots serve an important niche in our industry.

Star,

That is pretty awful of that guy to act like that. Personally, Im not sure if I could have handled it as well as you did. Guys like that need to get a life. It won't take long for his reputation as a cheat and overall bad guy to get around and pretty soon he won't have anyone to fly him around. Blue Skies to you.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Yeah, I was pretty much open mouth shocked also. There are a few real scum bags in this business, I guess you just have to know this going into it.
