If Dixon really wants to piss-off the people who by LAW, control the amount of fuel loaded aboard an aircraft; who by LAW have the final say on whether a tour of duty is extended or whether 400 pax get put up in a hotel at company expense; who by LAW cannot be compelled to operate to company schedule to make the punctuality reports look good; who by LAW cannot be compelled to give away a sector to the FO, thereby bringing the airline to a halt as it struggles to fit in recency simulator rides on already crowded schedules, then so be it.
That sort of action requires each set of crew to have the balls do it, on each of their flights, and to be ready to wear possible repercussions.
He'd pick us off, one-by-one, so you can count that out.
It's tough talk, but it doesn't work.
