So how did you feel when it was your idol Alan who did it?
i guess thuggery is all in the eye of the beholder.
No
No

No
to each of your points.
My post was in regard to pilot professionalism.
I am an airline pilot and my view is that pilots who approach their job with that approach are totally unprofessional.
Generous Sick leave provisions are for when the pilot is sick/ unfit/ doesn’t meet the required medical standard. Pilots have medical issues which prevent them from going piloting. Ground wallers can go to the office with the same afflictions.
Sick leave is not to pursue an industrial agenda. There are other avenues for that.
