It's actually embarrassing thinking about it. I now use every tactic that I can think of; every sick day, every fatigue call, no to every duty extension and it's made such a difference to my life. I'll fly 60-70 hours a month and you can shove the rest of it in the same place you shoved my good will.
I shouldn't even be mad, was my own dumb fault.
Yeah and now you feel sorry for
YOURSELF. NO consideration of the harm you did to the industry and your colleagues, but hey, it's good you woke up but it's far too late. It's screwed.
