PAXboy,
I understand where you're coming from but if you aren't prepared to stand up for yourself, stop whinging!
blue top (or anyone else),
Please explain again to me how the REQUEST to do further sectors was passed to the captain. How could the same method not be an acceptable method to reply?
If the information above is correct, the captain has made an effort to reply to Ops but it has been ASSUMED that he would take the extra flights. That is pressure from the company on a crew to operate in a potential dangerous condition.
But all this is largely irrelevant. The important question is, What are the other captains going to do?
