A lot of employers don't deserve the respect, that they themselves believe they do! Many contracts are not worth the paper it's written on, when the employer doesn't want your services anymore. So, mate, good on you, for showing them what they deserve. Pilot's are expected to have discipline, and you can still have that on the flight deck, yet not showing it towards the employment contract. Back on the horse and if the future employer is worth it - you show up for work - if not, hell no. The days of mutual respectful relationships with the "other side" are long gone. With race to the bottom - the industry gets what it deserves. Good luck and welcome back.
