As one who operated for so long on the other side of your fence; I agree with you. But one of the realities is this: Which company carries sufficient standbys so that crew are not woken at funn ny hours of the night and 'asked' to fly when on a 'Day Off'?
The secret of a comfortable relationship with crewing lies in a little expenditure and much relief.
Put in another telephone line. Buy another mobile. Make sure that only crewing have these two numbers. That way, if either telephone ever rings, it will be the boys with whom you may, or may not, wish to speak. If you feel guilty about this; put an answering machine on the landline.
