I've had flights cancel in base during irops and I just get my bag and go home (I love close by). I'm not on reserve and Im not getting paid to sit in the crew room. It irks me that people show up to their trips knowing their flights are gonna be late and still show up at their original sign in time. There is no reason for that, have some self respect.

That's a matter of opinion. As long as the paychecks clears why should any of us care who has the best "service".
We're not discussing service, we're talking about contracts. I'm not even very familiar with AAs contract, just commenting on someone else's statement about having more room for improvement than anyone else.

It was very much implied. Unless he was implying lie to your employer and say you were where you were supposed to be at report, and weren’t.

You sure do love projecting.

Nobody has an inferiority complex other than you. Our jobs aren't who we are.

That doesn't happen. Once there is a delay it stays either way that's on them.

Ok. Nobody is lying, AA just treats us like adults in this instance. Carry on.

So let me get this straight.

If you have trip with a noon sign in and your first flight is pushed from 1 pm to say 4pm you still show up at noon?

Yes, but I commute, so I had my plans in place. I’ve seen them delay a flight then move it back. I’ve seen a flight get cancelled then reinstated. Play with fire…..

Don't bother with reason and logic. Instead, ask him what his opinions on hats and gatehouse PAs are.

For some of them it is. Seems to coorelate to a fondness for hats and sailors coats. it's their whole identity and they can't help themselves but to run all over this forum and project it.

The rest of us just show up and fly the jet then go home and collect the check.

Now if boats and blenders are a lifestyle then yeah I'm projecting.

Do you? Lately you’re running around throwing stones. Might want to take a look a the mirror.
