Things got heated and I’m sure most of us would have pushed an aggressor away from us just like our pilot did. Unfortunately, that physical contact was caught on camera and was what was used to get him fired.

The other FAs that were sitting with our pilot were even appalled at their coworker’s aggressive behavior. I guess the moral of the story is to disengage and make absolutely sure not to make ANY physical contact with a coworker.

Ironically, some still cling to the idea that we don’t need separate hotels. Nonsense….

Hell if you listened to any of the 58 min long HR video this quarter you would know even bystanders who “feel” like something may have occurred can report you with zero consequences to them.

Once the brake is set my interaction with them stops.

If we vote this AIP/TA in and they’re still floundering with theirs, the animosity towards us will only heighten.
