Just heard that a CSD with QR was given the third degree for refusing to operate a flight.
Called at 0200local to operate a Rome flight...she was not on standby...as the rostered CSD hadn't turned up and could not be contacted.
Various threats ensued whilst she politely told Crewing: 1. not on sby 2. scheduled to operate LHR later that evening.
No doubt this episode will be put in the "Crewing Log" and AAB will have been informed and now this innocent party will be on "the list."
It is sad to hear this is still going on, considering the person concerned is one of the longest serving in the company and has an unblemished record.
