I agree 100%. By allowing them to charge us for expenses that they should handle, we only devalue ourselves and our professions. We keep on doing this and eventually they'll start treating us any old way they feel like. It's time we take a stand against al of this poor treatment. We are professionals, and we are required to meet very high standards befor we can do our jobs. Anyone off the street can legally be CEO of an airline. To be first officers, we have to meet very strict requirements. Even higher standards for captains...We need to take a stand against this sort of treatment!!!
