Even when you come back from holiday, you tend to be put on an early flight the next day or given a run of CAI/KRT or any pairings they can throw at you. This is from personal experience and is fact.
As far as sickness is concerned, if you have a cold and cannot fly, you are not allowed to make that judgement for yourself. You have to get a doctor's note stating that you are unfit.
It is like being at school!
AAB does not give a s**t about the crew and shows no compassion or empathy whatsoever.
He indeed is the one who is sick...mentally!
